Portuguese term or phrase: queimá-lo
Se trata de un email de un representante de una empresa en Brasil. Estoy teniendo problemas entendiendo esta frase. No veo a qué se refiere el "queimá-lo". Pongo la frase:

Sobre o Xosé, é um pobre coitado, agora todo mundo já sabe o que ele fez, pois que me apresentou, tratou de queimá-lo, vamos receber o dinheiro de volta tranqüilamente.

Gracias por vuestra ayuda.
Ingrafia
desacreditarlo, difamarlo
Explanation:
"Quemar" en este caso, se refiere a maldecir, o bien decir la verdad pero de forma a desacreditar la reputación de alguién.

Explanation:
Me parece, tal vez me equivoque, que donde dice "pois que me apresentou" debe decir "pois quem me apresentou". Por favor, corregime si estoy equivocada.

"El que me lo presentó trató de quemarlo." Así tendría algún sentido para mí.

Saludos
