The Portuguese-Brazilian citizen detained this Tuesday morning (October 21) is “heavily indicted for having published a publication on social media in which he incites violence against a group of people of foreign nationality”explained the Judicial Police.
Bruno Silva had, in September, published comments apologizing for neo-Nazis on the social network X (formerly Twitter).
In another publication offered an “apartment in the center of Lisbon to anyone who carried out a massacre and exterminated certain foreign citizens and an additional bonus of 100 thousand euros to anyone who attempted to kill a Brazilian journalist working in Portugal”.
The journalist in question is Stefani Costa, who months ago received images of Bruno Silva holding weapons. The professional filed a complaint with the Public Prosecutor’s Office and the process is taking place at the Lisbon Department of Investigation and Criminal Action.
The PJ states in its statement that “the aforementioned publication became viral, with enormous repercussion and social alarm, seriously affecting the feeling of tranquility, security and public peace, generating indignation and rejection in various quarters”.
It should be noted that Bruno Silva has a criminal record for crimes of discrimination and incitement to hatred and violence, and “vast pieces of evidence relating to his ideological radicalism” were seized.
It will be presented tomorrow (Wednesday, October 22nd) to the judicial authority to apply coercive measures.
