Russian Vice-consul reportedly shoots mugger dead in Rio[edit]
The Russian Vice-consul for Rio de janerio-by reports disputed by the Russian consul-on Thursday shot dead an attacker,after two individuals attempted to commit a robbery. As reported, Brazilian lawyer Marcos Cesar Feres Braga-so named by the Daily Mail newspaper-working for the Russian consulate, was driving with his family through the suburb of Barra da Tijuca near the main Olympic park complex when the incident occurred. According to reports from the Rio newspaper OGlobo, the 60-years old man,his wife, and his daughter were stopped in traffic due to the Olympic torch procession in a nearby neighborhood. Two individuals on motorbikes approached and used a gun to smash the car window. Braga, trained and considered an expert-according to reports-in jujutsu, took control of the attacker's firearm and proceeded to shoot dead the alleged attacker, while the second suspect fled the scene. Rio de janerio's homicide branch has released a statement in relation to the incident."The vice consul got into a physical struggle with the assailant and during the flight the aggressor's weapon fired shots. The assailant died of his wound on the spot's"However, Russian's consul General Vladimir Tokmakov has released a statement claiming no Russian diplomats or employees of the consulate general were involved in the incident."Information circulating in the Brazilian press about the alleged shooting [...] of a Brazilian national by a Russian diplomat during an arming robbery does not reflect reality."
