Images obtained by leaf reveal that Beto Freitas, 40, was suffocated for almost four minutes, in front of 15 witnesses, after being beaten for at least two minutes by Carrefour security guards in Porto Alegre last Thursday (19).
The video also shows that Freitas attacked one of the guards. Due to the quality of the video, it is not possible to see clearly if one of the security guards, Giovane Gaspar, said something that would have triggered the first assault. The recording shows that, before attacking Giovane, Freitas pauses for a second and looks at the guard.
In addition to the two security guards, it is possible to see a hypermarket inspector filming and observing the beatings without interfering with the assault.
A man tries to help Beto Freitas, but the inspector pulls him out as two other security guards in suits approach.
During the assaults, several people passed by and did not intervene. When Beto Freitas moves for the last time, there are at least 17 people around him, 15 of whom are witnesses and the two security guards who suffocated Freitas. There may be more witnesses outside the range of the camera.
One of the witnesses is the supervisor, Adriana Alves Dutra, who also appears in a video obtained by leaf intimidate witnesses.
To the man filming the suffocation of Beto Freitas, the inspector tells him: “don’t do that [filmar] that I will burn you in the store ”. The employee later claims that Freitas “delivered a woman up there.”
When asked why the employees beat him so brutally and why they were with him, she says, “If you can calm him down, I’ll get everyone away from him. [Beto Freitas]”.
Beto Freitas was veiled and buried this Saturday (20) in the São João cemetery, in Porto Alegre, under requests for justice and an end to racism.
