Brazil Welomes Nazis Deports Cubans

"Brazil broke its best democratic tradition with that summary deportation," said Brazilian Social Democracy leader Arthur Virgilio, who called on the foreign and defense ministers to explain themselves to Congress.

Double Olympic and world bantamweight champion Guillermo Rigondeaux, 25, and world welterweight champion Erislandy Lara, 24, were arrested Friday at the behest of the Cuban authorities, who had accused them of trying to defect.

A police chief later told reporters that the two Cubans had been put on a Cuban flight late Saturday and that they "were happy to return."
