The British girls again on the news...

The British girls I've talked about in a previous post are going to be set free this afternoon. For the ones who don't know, they were the girls who tried to scam their travel insurance business pretending that they were robbered in Rio. The charges are still on and if they are found guilt they can get a jail sentence for up to 5 years!
Here is the news (in Portuguese).

Niteroi

What is it? A flying sauce? :-) Nope! It's a museum called MAC (Museo de Arte Contemporanea). It's really worth visiting it. The view from inside is magic, not to mention the art work we can see in there! It's located in Niteroi - 14kms from Rio de Janeiro.

Geriba

I spent a couple of months in Brazil this last winter (winter in Brazil!?) and it was awesome!
It's not cold at all and you are still able to go to the beaches for a swim. Water temperature is not that warm but still quite nice. This beach is called Geriba and it's my favorite one in Buzios, Rio de Janeiro.

Not nice...

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!
