Upon her descent from the scene, she was brutally harassed by people who, in addition to booing the woman, began attacking her and pulling her hair, as well as throwing water bottles in her direction.
According to information from the British portal The Sun, the tourist was led by a security guard out of the archaeological site. Then she was arrested, according to information from the American channel CBS News🇧🇷
If convicted, the woman who moved up the pyramid faces between one and 10 years in prison, according to Mexican federal law. Another possible penalty for the tourist is a fine of about R$28,000.
