Russia's embassy in Brazil denied a report by Rio police that their vice consul in the Olympic host city got in a fight with a mugger who was killed in the struggle.
In a statement, the embassy said "no representative of the Russian consulate general in Rio de Janeiro was involved in an attempted assault ending with the death of the suspect." It said all diplomatic employees were Russian citizens "with Russian names, which is not the case" in the reported assault.
Rio de Janeiro's homicide branch said the vice consul "reacted to an attempted assault." The high profile incident was the latest reported in a city where 85,000 police and soldiers have been deployed to keep the peace during the Games.
