Argentinian journalist Dominique Metzger was attacked while covering the World Cup and couldn’t believe the question the police asked her: “What do you want Justice to do about this?”
“I thought I had misunderstood the translation, but no. They insisted on asking me what punishment I wanted for the thief, whether I wanted to be sentenced to five years in prison, deported… They insisted I could take the sentence I said I wanted my stuff to show up. I didn’t want to put myself in the shoes of justice” told the TN channel, referring to the fact that the authorities guaranteed that they would find the wallet, the stolen property, because “there are high definition cameras everywhere”🇧🇷
