Google Brazil chief arrested over YouTube video

September 27, 2012 08:40

The police arrested the head of Google Brazil over his refusal to remove YouTube videos that allegedly slander a mayoral candidate. But as the crime that Fabio Jose Silva Coelho is accused of has "low potential to offend" he will not remain in custody, federal police said in a statement. Rather, he will be released after he agrees in writing to appear in court, the statement said.

An electoral court has said Silva Coelho committed the crime of "disobedience" by not removing two videos that "slander, insult and defame" Campo Grande candidate Alcides Bernal.

The videos accuse the candidate of "instigating abortion, drunkenness, physical injury of a minor, illicit enrichment, and contempt as well as prejudice against the underprivileged," according to the indictment.
