Today is day two of the FIFA World Cup event in Qatar and it’s safe to say that it brought on more drama and controversies.
A female journalist was reportedly robbed live on air while carrying out her reporting segment directly from the tournament’s venue today.
She was just carrying on with her regular duties when all of a sudden, the reporter named Dominique Metzger who hails from Argentina could be seen being robbed.
The live broadcast was stated to be taking place at the Corniche area in Doha which is a little away from where the main event is taking place. But seeing this behavior be caught on live television had many people wondering what sort of law and order situation was in place for one of the world’s biggest sporting events of the year.
The man quickly snuck up and stole her personal handbag. This featured several items including cash, documents, and more which were all stolen, leaving her and the cameraman in a state of absolute shock and fear.
The incident was later on reported to the local police authorities but she couldn’t help but record her sentiments on the matter. Moreover, she claims to not only be shocked but just confused at the bizarre exchange that can be replayed as footage that’s now going viral.
The reporter gave details about the encounter and how she had arrived at the station, only to realize that this was the point where so many cultural differences would begin.
She was appalled to learn about what the policewoman told her. This was related to how they’ve got all sorts of high-tech cameras in place. She was further reassured that it would be no time before she got her belongings back and the thief was caught.
But then all of a sudden, things took a sour turn. The officer asked her what sort of justice do you wish us to impart on him? What do you want our system to do when we locate him? She even asked if she wished him to be deported. And that just blew her mind.
