Bailiffs were filmed dancing in “man” in the office – Daily News – Lisbon

The video was filmed three years ago, on Tuesday of Carnival, and shared on Facebook

video showing employees of the Department of Investigation and Penal Action to dance around a foot hanger in a kind of male dance became public after being shared on social networks and published in the edition of this magazine this week New People . The images were captured on Tuesday of Carnival in 2013, during the lunch hour, he explained to DN Fernando Jorge, of the Union of Bailiffs (SOJ). Became public this week after they have been published on Facebook social network.

The video shows three employees dancing around a hanger, filmed by other colleagues who are making comments. However, it has been published more than once on YouTube by others, always with titles that mention “bailiffs”. The video will have been filmed on the campus of Justice.

The union recognizes that it is serious this video has been shared on Facebook, but considers that it was a joke no “harm”. Fernando Jorge recalls that in 2013 the Government decided that the Carnival Tuesday was not a holiday and that staff were working, “they decided to have lunch” in the workplace and “at the end made that joke.” The office was closed, guaranteed. “The game does not harm, the publication on social networks was a mistake. That’s serious,” concludes Fernando Jorge.
