Overview
- Páez arrived in Buenos Aires on Wednesday evening after Brazil lifted travel limits under a court order that allowed her to leave while the case continues.
- She posted a 97,260‑real bond (about US$18,000–20,000) and must keep her address and contact details updated in the case file.
- The Eighth Criminal Chamber in Rio granted habeas corpus on Monday, with Judge Luciano Silva Barreto calling her prolonged restraint an illegal constraint.
- The prosecution unified the charges to one count of injúria racial and requested a two‑year sentence, which could be replaced by community service, rights‑training courses, or a fine, with a ruling expected in 15 to 20 days.
- The case stems from a Jan. 14 video showing Páez making racist gestures toward bar staff in Ipanema.
