A woman was arrested by Military police do Rio de Janeiro (PMERJ) on suspicion of having committed racism against an agent of the corporation who worked in the security of the Maracana Stadium. The traditional North Zone stadium hosted the decisive match between Fluminense e Argentine Juniors through the round of 16 of Libertadores Cup this Tuesday, the 8th. The crime would have been committed while the agent was trying to contain a fight between fans of the Argentine team. The woman’s name and age have not been released by the corporation so far. After the arrest, she was taken to the Special Fan Court, located inside the stadium.
In addition to her, three other people were arrested during the PMERJ security operation. The first arrest took place when a fan was detained by police from the Specialized Stadium Policing Battalion (Bepe) for assaulting an employee of one of the stadium’s bars. Finally, two fans were arrested during a riot between the fans. On the field, Fluminense won the match 2-0 and qualified for the quarterfinals of the tournament and awaits the winner of the game between Flamengo and Olimpia (Paraguay) to know his opponent.
