RIO DE JANEIRO — A senior executive of
Facebook left a Brazilian detention facility on Wednesday even as
authorities moved ahead with an investigation over access into the
company’s popular messaging service.
The executive, Diego Dzodan,
was taken into custody on Tuesday after the Facebook subsidiary,
WhatsApp, told Brazilian authorities that it was unable to intercept
instant messages in connection with a drug-trafficking investigation.
Dzodan,
Facebook’s vice president for Latin America, was detained on an order
from a Brazilian judge, said WhatsApp spokesman Matt Steinfeld.
But a higher court ruled that Dzodan could be freed while the legal
process against Facebook, being held away from the public eye, is
ongoing. He was released soon after the decision.
