MADRID (Reuters) - The Madrid prosecutor's office opened an investigation on Monday after a crowd of about 200 people sporting Nazi paraphernalia marched in the Spanish capital's gay-friendly neighbourhood of Chueca on Saturday shouting offensive anti-LGBT slogans.

The protesters shouted "Out of our neighbourhood" and "Get out of Madrid" prefaced by derogatory words for gay people, the prosecutor's office said in a statement.
