The 27-year-old beautician Danielle Estevão Fortes overcame her fear of walking alone, a trauma acquired from spending 11 days in prison by mistake in a penitentiary, and the more than 70 kilometers that separate the Mauá district, in Magé, where she lives . Baixada Fluminense, of the Gericino Penitentiary Complex, in the West Zone of Rio. All this, to visit for the first time, after one year and three months, Sister Daniela Silva Estevão, 24 years old.
Since the end of June of last year, Daniela has served a sentence for the crime of theft, in the Talavera Bruce prison. Although two robberies in cell phone stores had the participation of Daniela, at the beginning of the same month of 2019, it was the beautician who ended up going to jail, when she was mistaken for her sister in an investigation carried out by the police.
Justice only began to correct the error on June 18 of last year, when it issued the release permit for the beautician. Monday’s meeting, the first after Danielle was released from jail, was marked by tears and the lack of a hug.
Due to the rules imposed by the Secretariat of Penitentiary Administration (Seap) to prevent the spread of Covid-19 in prisons, which includes, among other measures, a mandatory minimum distance of 1.5 meters between detainees and visitors, the two sisters They couldn’t exchange hugs. or hugs. Even so, the beautician, who shortly after leaving prison said that she forgave her sister, cried when she saw Daniela and also when she said goodbye to her.
To get to Talavera Bruce at 8 a.m., Danielle woke up at 5 a.m. and was jolted on two buses. The first took her to Avenida Brasíl, near Cidade Alta. And the second to the vicinity of Gericino. She then stood in line until 10:40 a.m., when she finally managed to enter the prison yard.
– I could not sleep well on Sunday and could not feed myself with such anxiety. When I got to the prison gate, I felt stomach pains that made me very nervous. My sister did not know that I would visit her. When I saw her enter the patio, to approach the table where she was sitting on a chair, I started to cry. She asked me to forget everything we both went through. She had also asked for forgiveness in a letter. I saw that she was fine. Daniela said that she wants to serve her sentence (she was sentenced to ten years and six months) and then she wants to have a new life. When I left, it was that desperation. When she voted on her cell phone, I cried again. Not being able to hug my sister after so long was very difficult, “said the beautician, who was only able to obtain authorization from Seap on September 1 to receive the business card that gives access to the prisons.
According to Danielle, during the meeting the sister asked him to help her take care of her 3-year-old son. The boy lives with the rest of the sisters’ family in Mauá. Daniela also told the esthetician that she regretted not listening to her advice on bad company.
– We chat until noon, when the visiting period ends. He asked me to help him take care of his son. In fact, she told me that she was not only her son, but that she was our son. Daniela said she is very sorry she did not listen to my advice. At that moment I warned her not to walk with the people who took her this way – said the beautician.
Danielle was arrested when she was going to give testimony about the murder of a brother, in the Baixada Fluminense Homicide Police. Upon examining the identity of the beautician, the police discovered, at that time, that there was an arrest warrant issued by the court in her name.
The arrest warrant was the result of an investigation by 59 PD (Duque de Caxias) that confused the sisters and named the beautician as a participant in two robberies that she never committed. The incorrect identification was made from a safety circuit image. The video that captured Daniela in one of the robberies would have been compared with the photo of Danielle’s identification card and not with that of her sister.
Daniela was arrested in the Lake District on June 26, 2019. Following her conviction in two robbery cases, Danielle was acquitted in the same procedures that had been included in error.
