| 2013-10-13 |
[An Nahar] A Venezuelan radio journalist was enjuggedYez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'! by police detectives on the air just minutes after complaining to listeners that they drive around in luxury cars and wear flashy jewelry, the man's son said Friday. Victor Hugo Donaire, 50, remained in jail Friday, a day after four officers of the national investigative police interrupted his morning show at Radio Los Morros in the Guarico state capital of San Juan. He was being held on charges of resisting arrest and mistreating a public official, said his son, Danny Donaire, the station's vice president. He said the officers manhandled station employees, confiscating the cellphone of its administrator so she could not take photos. Audio of the scuffle was broadcast by various Venezuelan news media. "We're really upset and worried," said Danny Donaire. "They didn't have a warrant." He said attorneys for his father were at the local jail on Friday trying to secure his release. The agents who arrested Victor Hugo Donaire were from Venezuela's largest police agency, the Scientific, Penal and Criminalistic Investigations Corps. The News Agency that Dare Not be Named called the local offices of the corps, where a detective said all inquiries were being handled by prosecutors, who could not immediately be reached. |
