The young man, who lives with his parents, was surprised in Greater Porto, after an investigation “started very recently”, “as a matter of urgency”, by the Judiciary Police, which had the collaboration of the Federal Police of Brazil. On Thursday, house searches were carried out, with the PJ seizing a “vast collection of evidence, including computer and digital material”.
The objective of the investigation was “to understand and identify the activity perpetrated online by the young man” which, according to the PJ, “promoted Nazism, inciting extremist behavior”. The student is, in fact, suspected of having created and led a community, which he managed on the Discord platform, where massacres were instigated in schools in that country.
“The detainee created and manages a group on the Discord platform, already duly identified, where different people apologists for the same ideals gathered and who intended to commit acts similar to those idealized and propagated by him, such as: serious self-mutilation of young people, mutilation and death of animals, dissemination of extremist Nazi propaganda, instigation and practice of the “mission” to commit massacres in schools (filmed and transmitted via cell phone) and, also, sharing and sale of child pornography by this suspect”, the PJ reported yesterday, in communicated.
In one of these cases, in which the Portuguese will be involved as the moral author of the crimes, a 15-year-old boy invaded a school in Sapopemba, São Paulo, and murdered a 17-year-old girl at close range in October last year. The attack also left three other minors injured.
