This is volume 1 of Autos Findos 908/1997, a military police inquiry (IPM No. 18/97) opened on 29 January 1997 by the commander of the Brazilian Army's Escola de Sargentos das Armas in Três Corações. The inquiry targeted the book "Incidente em Varginha" by Vitório Pacaccini and Maxs Portes, which an officer said spread false claims harmful to the Armed Forces. The volume includes a May 1996 sindicância in which soldiers testified that nothing unusual happened when EsSA trucks traveled to Varginha for routine maintenance, along with pages copied from the book.
This second volume of a Brazilian military court case file, archived by the Superior Tribunal Militar in 1997, holds the Army's Military Police Inquiry into the book "Incidente em Varginha" by Vitório Pacaccini and Maxs Portes. The file reproduces pages of the book, including the claimed 1962 abduction of soldier Geraldo Bichara at the sergeants' school in Três Corações. The military prosecutor called the claims of a 1996 creature capture untrue but found no crime, and the judge ordered the case archived in July 1997.
