MANAUS (AM) – A man identified as André Elias Almeida Soares, 39, was arrested on the morning of Wednesday, the 9th, for invading a synagogue located in the centre of Manaus (AM), last Monday, the 7th. In addition to the attack, the man left texts alluding to the Nazi swastika on the wall of the religious temple.
The act was recorded by security cameras. According to information provided by the Civil Police of Amazonas (PC-AM) in a press conference, the man attempted to contact the rabbi of the location and, unsuccessfully, posted papers with printed Nazi symbols.

Investigations also revealed that the material left by the suspect contained links leading to photo files simulating sexual abuse against children. Videos containing threats to public authorities were also found.
Previously, André was seen walking through the campus of the Federal University of Amazonas (Ufam), on 21 March, with a replica firearm, known as an “airsoft”. On that occasion, the institution’s security guards were called.
Other threats
In videos accessed by CENARIUM, André Elias Almeida Soares also appears in front of the headquarters of the Court of Justice of Amazonas (TJAM) and pastes a paper with Nazi references on the external fence of the building. In the footage, he claims that the act is a “notification” to the court.
“I’m waiting for the Uber here in front of the Court. I stuck a sticker, oh, I notified the Court. The Court owes me, oh, I notified the Court. The Judge is up there […] I won,” says the suspect.
In another moment, he appears wearing a balaclava and issuing threats to public authorities such as the governor of Amazonas, Wilson Lima, state judges, and even the President of the United States of America (USA), Donald Trump.
