I had no idea but the police officer responsible for the case has said that it's quite common for European tourists to pretend that they were victims of assault or robbery while staying in Rio.
He also said that the numbers are quite high due to this fact.
I can't deny how violent and dangerous Rio de Janeiro can be, but at the same time it would be better to have the real numbers so we could check all the statistics to make sure all the law enforcement teams are doing (or not) a good job.
That's quite hard when, in this case, 2 British girls do exactly what I've just said above.
They were trying to get some money from their travel insurance.
Here is the link, but in Portuguese, sorry!
