Wow another possible fraudulent accusation.
The Brazilian woman who claimed to lose her unborn twins in a skinhead attack was not pregnant and probably carved the initials of Switzerland's main right-wing party into her own skin, investigators said Friday.
Paula Oliveira, 26, claimed that an attack by three skinheads, one with a Nazi symbol tattooed on the back of his head, caused her to miscarry twins. Zurich University forensic medicine chief Walter Baer said "any experienced forensic doctor would not hesitate to assume that this was a case of self-infliction." (AP)
RIO DE JANEIRO (JTA) -- A pregnant Brazilian woman miscarried her twins and was slashed over her entire body in a neo-Nazi attack in Switzerland.
Paula Oliveira, 26, who legally lives and works as a lawyer in Switzerland, was attacked Monday evening by three male skinheads in Dubendorf, a city near Zurich.
One of the men had a swastika tattooed on his neck, according to reports.
The woman was three months pregnant and miscarried her twin girls after being punched, kicked and cut. She received serious razor cuts all over her body and had both legs marked with the letters SVP.
"The acronym is the name of a political party that has a certain group with a tough position against foreign immigrants," Victoria Beaver, Brazil's consul general in Zurich, told the Brazilian press.
Beaver said that Swiss police have no leads on the assailants.
Oliveira, who had just left a train station, was attacked when she spoke Portuguese on the phone to her mother in Brazil.
Zurich police on Thursday were investigating an alleged skinhead assault on a pregnant Brazilian woman.
Brazil's O Globo newspaper reported that three skinheads, one with a Nazi symbol tattooed on his forehead, attacked the woman outside a local train station in Zurich while she was heading home. When police found her, she had the letters carved into her skin and told them she had suffered a miscarriage after the attack. (AP)

Update: The woman was NOT pregnant like she said, making the whole story iffy.

Iffy your ass! What difference does it make if she was pregnant or not? If she had lost the babies before or not? Is her belly that of a fat woman? Her navel that of fat woman? Grow up you idiots!

The Swiss police is also very prejudiced and xenophobous
Many Neo-nazis in switzerland belong to the police
Switzerand is pro nazi and pro Israel.
Very xenophobous people and nations.
Lots of money from German Nazi stockpilled up there too.!!!
Some Newspapers in Swiss stated that the Brazilians are 75% xenophobous
Ths is the most ridiculous claim I ever heard. Brazil always receives
foreigners with a smile and open arms.
Just the oposite we receive in Europe or USA when we travel there.
As for the woman not being pregnant and self inflict her wounds...
Give me a F... break!
She will throw her exams on the face of these swiss officials and idiot newspapers.
I Thought switzerland was a more humanized and advanced country. but this is another
big deception we are having these days , like Israel who proved itself a genocidal country

I was with you all the way until this "Switzerland is pro Nazi and pro Israel." I had you at may be even pro-Nazi but pro-Israel. That may be your fantasy certainly not the truth.

I am sure Switzerland police will make all things to deny and give to everybody the wrong thought about what happened i also read in brazilian news what they said about in BRAZIL WILL ARE "the Brazilians are 75% xenophobous".WHAT ARE SWISS POLICE PROBLEMS?! Everybody knows Brazil is the country who receive EVERYBODY IN THE SAME WAY!!here we have muslims,africans,americans,european,asiatic people living together without care about their religion and race.What about Switzerland banks who keeps dirty money from nazism!!!

I have been in switzerland many times.I spent more then 1 year of my life there.After what i saw in switzerland i don't want to visit that fascist country anymore.If anyone want to see real face of fascism then go and visit switzerland.Go to google and type Cristoph Meili and you will find ot what kind of disgusting people are those swiss bastards

Some of you are crossing the red line and I am bewilldered on how you generelly say swiss people are Pro-nazi and are racist. I have been here more than three years and the Swiss people are the most humanized and socially advanced and descent people I have ever seen. But I don't mean thare are no bad people as there are such people everywhere. But believe me Swiss people are very nice people. Those of you who think and feel the swiss people are racist, you have personal problem-inferiority complex or problem of integration-most people blame when they fail to gain confidence on themselves.

I really hope you are faced with those nazy punks and gain some "self-confidence" inflicting experience of your own.
at 02:03 on February 19th, 2009
well look at you haters now
at 08:38 on March 16th, 2009
This is just plain pathetic.
Before you sprout of the fascist nonsense if would perhaps make sense to find out what really happened..... But oh nooo that may not fit your ranting and raving!!
I for one hope that this liar returns to her home, where I am sure she will be welcomed with open arms.
