José Eduardo Franco dos Reis would have used the identity of Edward Albert Lancelot Dodd-Caterbury Caterham Wickfield; After the investigations, he traveled to the United Kingdom
The president of (TJSP), Fernando Antonio Torres Garcia, reported the suspension of payments to retired judge José Eduardo Franco dos Reis. He faces accusations of and use of false documents. Reis, who acted as a judge for 23 years under the fictional name of Edward Albert Lancelot Dodd-Caterbury Caterham Wickfield, would have created a fake identity in 1980, which was discovered last year when trying to request a duplicate of the document.
Retired since April 2018, Reis received from TJSP a total of R $ 166,413.94 in salaries only in February this year. After the investigations began, he traveled to OE was not located at his address registered with the Civil Police. TJSP’s decision to suspend payments is of an administrative nature, while the process is still a secret of justice.
In December, Reis gave testimony, where he claimed that Wickfield would be his twin brother, who would have been given to another family in his childhood. However, the investigation points out that Reis and Wickfield are actually the same person. Authorities have evidence that corroborates this theory, including fingerprints that coincide and birth certificates that share the same registration number.
The Civil Police, together with the prosecution, are convinced of the falseness of the identities presented by Reis. The case raises serious questions about the integrity of the judiciary and the possibility of fraud that may have occurred during the time he acted as a judge. The situation continues to be closely monitored by the competent authorities.
