According to the Prosecutor’s Office, the agents who participated in the detention met the injunction, but the victim “resisted, was subjected as reflected in the videos circulating on various social networks”.
However, he claims that “the apprehended was subdued, never beaten, this can be seen in the various videos that have proliferated and those captured by the neighbors who witnessed the arrest, in addition to testimonies gathered.”
