What happened to Antonio Pereira do Nascimento, the taxi driver who received more than 20 million dollars by mistake?
Antonio, a working-class man with 14 grandchildren, found an unexpected fortune in his bank account: more than 20 million dollars.I have never seen money like this in my life. and I will never be able to get it in my life, only if I win the Mega-Sena (lottery), and I don’t play. So it’s difficult,” the taxi driver said. However, although the temptation might have been enormous, he did not hesitate to contact the bank to return the money, knowing that it was a mistake. “I didn’t think for a second about doing wrong, I am a very honest person“I just want what’s mine,” he said.
The law of Brazil She is very clear about it and if she had not returned the money, the grandfather would have been burdened with a legal action both in criminal and civil matters against him.
