The Brazilian Bar Association (OAB) will take part in a case involving a supremacist with a swastika who was allegedly "sheltered" by police officers in Rio (video).
Student Leonardo Guimarães says he was even called a 'communist, gay, little student'.
247 - A man with Nazi and white supremacist tattoos was taken to a police station in the South Zone of Rio on Saturday afternoon (28). Apology for Nazism is a crime, according to Law 9.459/97, but the tattooed man was released.
Student Leonardo Guimarães was in a restaurant in Largo do Machado, a central area of Rio de Janeiro, when he saw the drawings on the man's skin. He alerted the police, who took him to the 9th Precinct (Catete). Leonardo claims he was intimidated by the officer who attended to him.
“I took a guy with a swastika, a black sun, and 'white proud' tattooed on his arm to the police station. The officer who attended to me is a Bolsonaro supporter, apologized to the Nazi, said he can wear whatever he wants, and called me a 'communist, gay, student-like little student',” he recounted.
Ao UOL portal, Rodrigo Mondego, prosecutor for the Human Rights Commission of the Brazilian Bar Association in Rio de Janeiro (OAB-RJ), said he will take the case to the Police Station for Racial Crimes and Intolerance Offenses and to the Internal Affairs Department of the Civil Police. He believes the inspector may have committed the crime of prevarication in his treatment of the tattooed man.
