Brazilian Driver Missing in France Faces Domestic Violence Arrest Warrant

Bruno Fernando Rego, a 28-year-old ride-share driver from Capivari, São Paulo, has been missing in France for nearly a month. A preventative arrest warrant has been issued against him by the Leme Justice system in São Paulo for domestic violence and bodily harm against a woman. Rego was reportedly working with a rented and trackable vehicle, but its location is unknown. He operated for app platforms and independently, lacked a fixed residence, and rented two support houses near Paris for his work. A Brazilian friend raised the alarm after Rego failed to respond to daily video calls starting July 5th, prompting the family to be notified the next day. Rego's sister, Beatriz Rego, stated that he maintained regular contact with his family despite being abroad. According to relatives, Rego lost his passport and disappeared with only the clothes he was wearing. His phone number has since become inactive. The judicial order suggests Rego may be in France illegally, with the arrest warrant valid until May 20, 2030. The judge cited the need for the precautionary measure to ensure public order and the victim's integrity. Rego's sister claims the family was unaware of the judicial order and is solely focused on finding him alive. He had traveled to France about a year ago to earn money for his 4-year-old daughter's medical treatment for neurological sequelae, reportedly earning significantly more there. The Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs is aware of the case and providing consular assistance to the family, but has not released specific details.
