A man who worked as a security guard at the Brazilian stage of the League of Nations was arrested last Tuesday (21) after being suspected of recording athletes' private parts during matches taking place at Maracanãzinho, in Rio de Janeiro.
The information was confirmed by the Brazilian Volleyball Confederation (CBV) which, in a note, stated that it registered the incident at the 5th DP (Mem de Sá), in addition to providing support to the case investigation process. The suspect was removed permanently and his connection with the company was severed.
According to investigations, the man entered the event with a semi-professional camera equipped with magnifying lenses to film and photograph the players' private parts. Other employees at the site managed to capture the exact moment the individual used the equipment.
In a statement, CBV said that it “does not tolerate” any type of harassment or disrespect. “In addition to valuing the hiring of a qualified and prepared security company for its events, the CBV has a Reporting Channel open to athletes, the public and others involved in the competitions”, added the confederation.
According to the Civil Police, the suspect was detained at the hotel where he was staying, in the Copacabana neighborhood, in the south zone of Rio. The agents executed a search and seizure warrant and located electronic devices that were used by the provider to photograph and film volleyball players, in addition to storing the images.
With the prisoner were three electronic devices he used, which contained videos of several professional volleyball matches, in addition to the camera, a notebook, a cell phone and two memory cards, which were seized by the police.
