A Brazilian judge ruled that Argentine lawyer Agostina Páez, who was accused of racism while visiting Rio de Janeiro in mid-January, will not have to serve jail time and will be able to return to her country. Páez was accused of three racism charges that are punishable with up to 15 years in prison. He will also establish the conditions for the woman to return to Argentina. It was the worst experience of my life, and I feel relieved,” Páez told the press after the hearing, in which the three men were also present and gave their version of the story. “This has contributed for the judge to accept that she complies with her sentence in our country,” Quirno said.
