Ana Paula Nunes dos Santos, 27 years old, is a doctor and was detained at Campo Grande airport in Mato Grosso do Sul when returning from vacation with her husband and six-month-old daughter. The detention was due to an identification error, which ended up being discovered in less than 10 minutes after it was verified.
Despite the error being identified quickly, the doctor spent two nights in prison and remained 28 days with an electronic tag. This identification error continues to cause her professional problems.
The case highlights the consequences that judicial errors can have on the lives of ordinary citizens, even when the situation is quickly clarified by the authorities.
