The public prosecutor's office did not provide any further details due to the ongoing proceedings. However, it referred to the presumption of innocence, which applies until the legal conclusion of proceedings.
Brian allegedly attacked a man with punches in Zurich on Wednesday evening. Images from a surveillance camera show the well-known ex-convict running towards his opponent and knocking him down. The victim was Tiktoker“Skorp808”, with whom Brian has been feuding for some time.
On Thursday, both had published videos in which they commented on the latest incident.“Skorp808” said that he had suffered a triple fracture to his cheekbone in the attack. Brian stated that his opponent had recently insulted his mother and girlfriend and attacked a colleague.

Videos of the two men had already surfaced in March. Brian insulted his opponent and demanded his head while posing with a knife. He claimed that this was an advert for a fight and“trash talk”, as is common in boxing. He was subsequently questioned by the public prosecutor's office.
In November 2023, Brian, who became known under the pseudonym“Carlos” in a documentary film about a youth lawyer in 2013, was released after years in various prisons. At the age of 28, he was finally able to live his own life, he said at the time. He wished to become a professional boxer and simply be a decent citizen.
