Some 2,600 police and army operatives swept through a Brazilian slum on
Sunday, seizing 11 tons of marijuana and "a small arsenal" of
weaponsincluding a missilefrom a notorious drug gang. They also found a
Justin Bieber mural.
Pezao, whom The Guardian describes as "one of the area's top
traffickers," is apparently also one of the area's top Justin Bieber
fans. Brazilian news outlet R7 published the above photo, as well as
several others documenting the narcos' "mansions." They'll need to
update for Bieber's new haircut, obviously.
The "unprecedented" operation, which focused on the notorious
70,000-resident Complexo do Alemao, took place at 8 a.m. By 9:30 a.m.
it had been "conquered," (that's what the police said, at least), and
in the afternoon the government troops "hoisted the country's green and
yellow flag." The hope was to weaken the Red Command drug gang and
capture some of its notorious memberslike Zeu, the drug lord behind the
samurai-sword murder of Brazilian journalist Tim Lopes. It's unlikely
to be the last raid, though:
