FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Panetta said the United States had investigated the matter, “severely
punished” the marines, and pulled them out of Brazil.
Few additional details from the incident have been provided by US officials,
including the nature of an unresolved offer Ferreira’s lawyers say was made
by the embassy to compensate her in exchange for a non-disclosure agreement.
But the former prostitute, still recovering from surgery and now starting a
career as a pet shop owner, detailed her account of the evening to Reuters
in an interview on Wednesday at her lawyer’s office.
Ferreira said she, along with her co-workers, first met the four Americans
over tequila and whiskey inside the strip club. “Like any other night,
we sat down with the guys to drink and chat,” she said.
Before long, she added, “we settled on a price and whose house we would
go to.” But problems ensued when the group proceeded to leave the club.
Ferreira said she was forced out of the van by one of the men when she
attempted to join some of her colleagues, who had already entered the
vehicle. She said she panicked when the man grabbed her, so she attempted to
hold onto the van, but fell to the ground, hit her head and lost
consciousness.
After she fell, her lawyers said, the man told the van driver to go. The
vehicle’s back wheel then drove over Ferreira. The lawyers said the driver
probably did not realise she was there.
The van briefly stopped after running over the woman, they added, and then
drove off for good.
In a Washington press briefing on Wednesday, a US State Department spokeswoman
confirmed Ferreira was run over, but gave a conflicting account of one
particular. Ferreira, she said, tried to open the door once the van was
already moving.
Ferreira, who worked as a stripper at the club for three years, said she was
traumatised by the incident, which kept her hospitalised for 12 days.
Upon her release from the hospital, she said, embassy officials visited her to
seek her account of the incident and then offered her nearly 4,000 reais
($2,100), which she rejected. Her lawyers said they then followed up with
the embassy, but failed to reach an agreement on payment and a condition
that would have required Ferreira to sign a non-disclosure agreement.
A US embassy spokesman confirmed there was an inconclusive discussion about
compensation, but was unaware of the exact details.
Ferreira’s lawyers said they are monitoring prosecutors’ progress with
potential criminal charges before proceeding with a lawsuit. Damages, they
say, would help compensate for Ferreira’s injuries, mental suffering and
costs she incurred in her recovery.
Using savings and a loan from a friend, Ferreira said, she paid 18,000 reais
($9,574) for corrective surgery on a botched first attempt to set her broken
collar bone. The bone still appears swollen and dark scars still mar her
elsewhere, even her legs.
Ferreira also quit her life as a prostitute and used the rest of her money to
start a pet shop and grooming service.
“I won’t go back to it,” she says of her former life, adding that
the scars and a misshapen bone now make her feel self-conscious. “How
could I dance again?”
