An employee of a security company has been declared wanted, after being sentenced to three years in prison for inhumane treatment of two individuals, while carrying out his duties. According to law enforcement, the man unjustifiably resorted to the use of physical force, exceeding his responsibilities, reports IPN.

According to the General Prosecutor’s Office, the first incident took place in June 2022, at a karaoke-type venue in the Botanica sector of the capital. The security agents intervened following the activation of the alarm button, as a result of a conflict between a customer and the venue’s staff. The security company’s employee hit, immobilized, and exerted violence on the man, even after the victim requested police intervention by calling 112. The man was held to the ground and handcuffed with a plastic collar, despite complaining of severe pain.

The second case occurred three months after the first incident, near a 24/7 grocery store, also in the Botanica sector. The intervention of the agents was requested following a conflict that broke out between a customer and a store employee. According to the case files, the security guard immobilized the man, hit him while he was on the ground, and later kicked him in the back. In this case too, the victim called the 112 Service.

Law enforcement officials mention that as a result of the two incidents, the injured parties suffered bodily harm, confirmed by forensic medical examinations.
