Police Madrid in discredit by chats about Hitler

The police in the Spanish capital Madrid has been discredited by texts that have exchanged a WhatsApp group.

'This gentleman knew how to handle matters. This man is a god ', so one of the group members glorified Hitler. A colleague suggested throwing refugees into the sea in another digital conversation as 'feed for the fish. '

The chat group was set up two years ago to answer questions from employees. After the attacks in Barcelona in August and the recent crisis in Catalonia, however, the tone of the messages changed.

A trade union member who was a member of the group made the case public when he was threatened. Justice has begun an investigation.
