“I think if someone beats me in the face today, I will apologize for those who hit me, but I don’t go to the police station. Because I don’t know if I’m going to be arrested. Let’s go to the police station to ask for help and it happens.” says Débora Cristina da Silva Damasceno, a woman who was mistaken on Sunday (16), in Petrópolis (RJ), after looking for the city police station to denounce her husband for aggression.
In July 2024, the Minas Gerais Court of Justice (TJMG) issued an arrest warrant against Débora Cristina da Silva Damasceno when, in fact, the order should have been issued to the detriment of Débora Cristina Damasceno.
“When I finished doing the occurrence (at the 105th Petrópolis Police Station), they gave me a prison voice. I thought it was a joke. I asked him to see again, because I was never in Belo Horizonte,” Deborah said in an interview with CNN .
In a note sent to the report, lawyer Reinaldo Máximo, who defends Deborah, detailed that the woman was taken to the prison José Frederico Marques in a van with more than Ten men arrested .
The day laborer detailed how they were the three nights she spent at the scene. “I slept on the floor. I thought I wouldn’t go back anymore. The biggest concern was with my children, my grandmother, my whole family. No one was believing in me,” he recalled.
In addition to the surname “da Silva”, the agency found that, in the record of the two women, the names of the parents were divergent. On the morning of last Tuesday (18), was issued the release warrant of Debora Cristina.
Deborah also stated that her only wish is to obtain justice in the face of the mistake that led her to get stuck for three days. “First, that I can head up on the street. Without having to walk with a license role in hand. Justice, not to happen to other people what happened to me. It seems that they will come to me anytime again,” he said.
