The English journalist David Brown, of the publication entitled "Sunday People", had contacted the jewish Delegation centre 'Simon Wiesenthal' in Buenos Aires, Argentina asking for reports about the possible nazi ancestry of Depor midfielder Aldo Duscher, according to the head of the Simon Wiesenthal centre, Sergio Widder.
Widder later called these motives of investigation by Brown as "unusual" while at the same time denying that Duscher has any past links to nazism in his family.
Widder had spoke to a Buenos Aires daily diary, "Pagina/12", in which he said that he received a telephone call last friday from David Brown of "Sunday People", who made a peticion to collect information about Aldo Duscher's family and their past origins, considering that Brown knew of Duscher's possesion of an austrian passport, and suspected that he had nazi history.
The head of Simon Wiesenthal stated today on the radio program "La Red" that we has "very surprised" to hear this consultation formed by Brown.
"This grabbed my attention, and it seems to me an absurd thing, the inquiry by this briton", he said, while adding that Brown formed his petiticion claiming that Duscher's family emigrated to Argentina in the 1940's when numerous war criminals had settled in this nation.
He then concluded: "obviously, in our centre, when we receive such a denouncement or some report of this kind, we immediately begin a search for information, despite how little we have to work with. It is what we do and we had not discovered any such historical background. If the opposite had occured, I believe that this would neither have anything to do with the player in the first place to begin with".
Almost a week since the Champions League match between Manchester United and Deportivo, where England star David Beckham was injured, endangering his participation in the upcoming World Cup, the continued controversy of Aldo Duscher's tackle on David Beckham has not stopped creating "headlines" in the English press, but this "gentle-man" David Brown has crossed the line.
