Overview

  • The MP-PR says Thayane Smith left 19-year-old Roberto Farias Tomaz in danger on the Pico Paraná trail, characterizing the conduct as omission of socorro with intent.
  • Prosecutors cite vomiting, difficulty walking, cold rain and fog, and a difficult route as signs she knowingly abandoned a debilitated companion.
  • The filing proposes a transação penal: R$4,863 to Roberto, R$8,105 to the Campina Grande do Sul Fire Department, plus three months of community service at five hours weekly with the corps.
  • The 2nd Prosecutor’s Office in Campina Grande do Sul asked to send the case to the Juizado Especial Criminal for consideration of the proposal.
  • Roberto disappeared on Jan. 1 during the descent, spent five days lost, and reached help on Jan. 5 after walking about 20 km, following multi-agency searches.
