Only Two Days Ago,

we made a post about a pair of twins,

in China who both shared each others driving licenses, and a continent and ocean away here is another pair of twins using their near identical appearance to fool people and the law, but for one it has backfired, either Fernando or Fabricio dated Valeria who said that she started dating one of the brothers, who she assumed was Fernando, after meeting him at a party. At least the man introduced himself as Fernando, although looking back on the day they met, she remembered he rode a yellow motorcycle he said was Fabricio’s. After hearing about the twins impersonating each other in the past, there’s no way for her to know which one of the brothers she slept with, and now with a baby she was helped by Judge Filipe Luís Peruca, in the Brazilian state of Goiás, who ruled that because the two men continued to blame each other in a blatant attempt to escape responsibility they would both need to pay 30% of the minimum wage as child support, “One of the brothers, in bad faith, seeks to conceal the fact that he is the father,” the judge said. “Such behavior, of course, should not be tolerated by the law, on the contrary, it must be repressed, especially in the case in which the defendants seek to benefit from it, impairing the plaintiff’s right to recognition of biological paternity, of a constitutional, inalienable and unavailable right intrinsically linked to the dignity of the human person.”

photograph from the Brazilian Court of Justice, here is the problem, both twins underwent a DNA test which showed that there was a 99.9% probability that one was the father but because the two have virtually the same genetic code it was impossible to say who the father was, His decision was also influenced by the fact that evidence presented during the hearings showed that the twins had previously leveraged their uncanny resemblance to impersonate each other and date as many women as possible, as well as defend one another when accused of cheating by their girlfriends, “It’s a sad situation, they didn’t need to do this,” the woman said. “They know the truth, but they are taking advantage of their resemblance to escape responsibility.” I wonder when the guilty one will if ever fess up?
