An Argentinian television journalist was robbed live while reporting in Qatar on the World Cup, with cash and documents stolen from her purse.
Dominique Metzger was broadcasting from the Corniche area of Doha during the build-up to the tournament’s opener when she said the items had been stolen.
Speaking after the incident, Metzger said she reported the incident to local police and was surprised at their response.
“I had my little bag on me with everything we needed, my wallet, our hotel room keys, towels,” Metzger told a TN presenter.
“And you were dancing, weren’t you?” the anchor asked him.
“Yeah, I was dancing with the crowd and I’m sure that’s when someone unzipped the bag and took my wallet,” the reporter replied.
The anchor asked if she thought it was a pickpocket who stole her wallet. Although the robbery was not caught on camera, footage showed her dancing in the middle of a crowd with her bag hanging by her side.

Dominque turned himself in to the police about the incident and was reportedly stunned by their response.
The daily record reports: “The policewoman said to me: ‘We have high-tech cameras everywhere and we will locate him [the thief] with face detection. What do you want justice to do when we find him? What justice do you want? What sentence do you want us to give him? Do you want him to be sentenced to five years in prison? »
