    Enjoy Copacabana while you can.

    Our prisons here are not a day at the beach.

    Is there any financial scam that does not involve an EUian or Anglo?

    Alleged. Not been found guilty of anything yet.
    If indeed he is eventually proved guilty I guess it would be because he 'went native' and picked up the local disease.

    “ Native ” in the Copacabana Palace Hotel ?

    Rooms there were going for R$ 800-1200 per night during the Copa. The only sign of disease this svelte fellow appears to be suffering from is buffet-gluttony.

    I think our Supreme Court Justice Marco Aurelio Mello is allowing the PF to continue to investigate through the entire 51,000 phone intercepts.
