Brazilian woman located in Europe after disappearance

Lucimara Caroline Norberto Ferreira, a 32-year-old woman from Pouso Alegre, Minas Gerais, has been located in Europe after being missing since August. The Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, known as Itamaraty, confirmed her location to the family's legal representative.

Ferreira had traveled abroad in July, leaving her two young children in the care of her mother. While she briefly contacted her family in August claiming to be in Paris, France, she subsequently ceased all communication.

Her lawyer, Telêmaco Marrace, stated that while the Ministry has confirmed she is well, her exact location has not been disclosed to the family. The lawyer is awaiting authorization from the Department of Consular Assistance to share these details and is investigating whether she is under the supervision of local authorities, which may have prevented her from contacting her relatives.
