São Paulo judge cancels Hickmann's debt due to forgery

A judge in São Paulo ruled that Ana Hickmann's signature was forged, nullifying a 1.2 million reais debt owed to a bank. This decision effectively absolves Hickmann of the financial obligation. The court's ruling stemmed from forensic reports confirming the forgery of Hickmann's signature on a credit note from 2022. The judge cited these reports as conclusive evidence, leading to the debt's extinguishment. Hickmann's legal team is now seeking to identify those responsible for the forgery. The Banco do Brasil, the creditor, is reviewing the decision and will respond in due course.
