PRAGUE (Reuters) - Slovakia said on Friday it had protested to Belgium after footage appeared of a 2018 incident in which a Slovak businessman appeared to be mistreated and scorned by police who detained him at a Belgian airport.

Video run by Belgian media on Wednesday showed the man bleeding after banging his head against the wall of a police cell. Later it appeared to show an officer kneeling on him, while another raised her hand in what resembled a Nazi salute.
