According to the prosecutor’s complaint, in 1973, José Eduardo went to the former civil and criminal identification division of the Public Security Secretariat in Águas da Prata (SP) to take a ID, when he was “correctly qualified as José Eduardo Franco dos Reis, son of Vitalina Franco dos Reis and José Eduardo dos Reis”.

Seven years later, however, he signed an IIRGD identification record by the name of Edward Albert Lancelot Dodd Canterbury Caterham Wickfield, “attributing to being the son of Richard Lancelot Dodd Caterbury Caterham Wickfield and Anne Dubois Vincent Wickfield.”

“To this end, he presented copies of a corporation certificate issued by the Brazilian Army, a portfolio of a Labor Public Prosecution Service and a work and social security portfolio, as well as a voter title,” says the complaint.

The MP points out that “such documents, at the time, did not have any graphic devices or security materials, being easily falsifiable.” “From another band, until the adoption of electronic systems, except for research in criminal investigations, there were no conditions to compare digit-patular impressions upon civil identification, which is why it was not possible to identify that it was the same person.”
