Belgian police officer made 'Nazi' salute in cell of man who died

Slovakian citizen Jozef Chovanec died after being held in cell at Charerloi airport in 2018

The Belgian government has been urged to investigate the death of a man in police custody after an officer sat on his rib cage for 16 minutes and another apparently made a Nazi salute.

Jozef Chovanec, a 38-year old Slovakian citizen, was arrested at Charleroi airport in February 2018 after causing a disturbance while boarding a flight to Bratislava. Taken to a cell, he started banging his head against a wall, causing bleeding.
