Wanted Israeli diplomat flees Brazil
Police in Rio de Janeiro say an Israeli diplomat suspected of belonging to an international child pornography ring has fled Brazil and returned to Israel. The Israeli diplomatic mission confirmed that its vice-consul, Arie Scher, had flown home at the request of the Israeli government, which it said had ordered an investigation into the allegations. Police want to question him in connection with pornographic pictures and videotapes of young children found in the home of a Hebrew language teacher arrested on Tuesday. The children were pictured and filmed at the diplomat's house. Police said the pictures had been published on the internet with the apparent aim of attracting foreign paedophiles to Rio de Janeiro.
