From Warm Up Sem visto, Sato é detido em São Paulo Warm Up 18/08/2004 - 13:59 Um vôo da British Airways chegou ao Brasil às 5h30 desta quarta-feira (17). Trazia entre seus passageiros Takuma Sato, que participaria de um encontro com jornalistas da América Latina, uma promoção da BAR. O piloto japonês, no entanto, foi detido pela Polícia Federal, está preso no Aeroporto Internacional de Guarulhos, em São Paulo, e deve voltar para a Inglaterra ainda nesta noite. Nem a equipe e nem o japonês sabiam que Sato estava sem visto para entrar no Brasil. O piloto faria sushis e sashimis para os jornalistas em um almoço num restaurante paulistano, mas acabou sendo entrevistado por mexicanos, venezuelanos e bolivianos que a BAR trouxe ao Brasil no próprio aeroporto. A BAR tentou mudar a situação contatando autoridades brasileiras e até mesmo a diplomacia japonesa no Brasil. Em vão. O time agora estuda a possibilidade de processar a British Airways, que segundo a equipe teria obrigação de verificar no embarque que Sato não tinha visto para entrar no Brasil. Sato arrived by a British Airways flight without a visa and was detained by immigration authorities. Sato is in the Guarulhos International Airport and will fly back to England tonight. BAR owns the large tobacco industry in Brazil, Cia Souza Cruz, and will try to sue British Airways because the airline have the obligation to verify the passengers' papers. Here's an interview with Sato about the incident: http://ultimosegundo.ig.com.br/paginas/grandepremio/
A flight of the British Airways arrived at Brazil to 5h30 of this Wednesday (17). It brought between its passengers Takuma Sato, who would participate of a meeting with journalists of Latin America, a promotion of the BAR. The Japanese pilot, however, was withheld by the Federal Policy, is imprisoned in the International Airport of Guarulhos, in São Paulo, and must still come back toward England in this night. Nor the team and nor the Japanese knew that Sato was without visa to enter in Brazil. The pilot would make sushis and sashimis for the journalists in a lunch in a paulistano restaurant, but he finished being interviewed for Mexicans, Venezuelans and Bolivians who the BAR brought to Brazil in the proper airport. The BAR tried to change the situation even though contacting Brazilian authorities and the Japanese diplomacy in Brazil. Em.vão. The teams now studies the possibility to process the British Airways, that according to team would have obligation to verify in the embarkment that Sato had not seen to enter in Brazil. Sato arrived by the British Airways flight without aims at it and was detained by immigration authorities. Sato is in the Guarulhos International Airport and will fly back you the England tonight. BAR owns the large tobacco industry in Brazil, Cia Souza Cross, and will try you sweats British Airways because the airline have the obligation you verify the passengers ' papers.
It doesn't appear that Sato was arrested but rather he was detained by immigration. I think there is a big difference but maybe the translation was incorrect.
