In the process, Antônio asks for a reward of R$13,187,022.00, equivalent to 10% of the amount returned, and an additional R$150,000 in compensation. Based on the analysis of documents from the case, the expert explains that the witnesses had the function of proving the emotional state and circumstances that would have shaken the driver. "The decision was based on the fact that this could be proven through documents. In other words, the decision understood that the documents could prove the emotional state and distress of the parties", says Mateus. At the time it dismissed the witnesses, the Court understood that there was no need, as the central discussion of the demand consists of verifying the occurrence of the improper transfer, its refund to the bank and the eventual incidence. Remember the case Antônio Pereira do Nascimento is the father of four children and grandfather of 14 grandchildren. When he noticed the large amount of money in his account, he contacted the institution to return it immediately. In an interview, he even joked about the situation at the time. "I've never seen money like that in my life and I can never make it in my life, only if I win in the Mega-Sena, and I don't play. So it's difficult," said Antônio at the time. The story generated so much repercussion that he ended up on the panel "Acredite Em Quem Quiser", on the program Domingão, presented by Luciano Huck on TV Globo, in August 2023. The case was taken to court in July 2024, just over a year after the wrong transfer. The lawsuit mentions that the agency manager put 'psychological pressure' on him to return the money and insinuated that “people” would be at the driver's door to wait for the amount to be returned. In addition to the request for a reward, Antônio's defense also cited that he suffered harassment from the press and that this entire situation generated 'emotional shocks and embarrassment'. In this sense, he asks for R$150,000 in compensation for moral damages. Bradesco informed that it does not comment on ongoing processes.
