Photos show Iago Queiroz Costa, 32, reported missing after arriving on a deportation flight from the USA, being admitted to a UPA and fleeing. The Brazilian Iago Queiroz Costa, who had gone missing after being deported from the United States and fleeing from an Emergency Care Unit (UPA) in Greater BH, was located around 7:45 am on Sunday (26), at Pampulha Station in Belo Horizonte. The information comes from the Ministry of Human Rights and Citizenship (MDHC). The family has already been informed. The MDHC stated that it continues to monitor the case in coordination with the competent authorities, “ensuring the follow-up of necessary protection and care measures”. “The Ministry highlights and recognizes the dedication and integrated work of the public security organizations, the justice system, and the technical teams involved, whose efforts were crucial for the location and safe reception of Iago,” the Ministry said in a statement. G1 asked the MDHC about the circumstances in which the Brazilian was found and where he was taken, but did not receive a response by the time of the last update of this report. Understand: Iago Queiroz Costa, 32, arrived at Belo Horizonte International Airport in Confins on Wednesday (22), on a flight with deportees from the USA. According to the federal government, he showed signs of a “psychotic episode and delusions,” but “without immediate risk to himself or others”. The next morning, there was a perceived need for medical intervention, and Iago was taken to the UPA in Vespasiano, where he was hospitalized for stabilization. However, in the early hours of Saturday (25), he fled the health unit. The MDHC learned of the escape at 12:20 pm when contacting the UPA and immediately mobilized the Civil Police to prioritize the search.
