wait, you think Brazil is the one looking bad here? lol ok

They are looking for bribes. A few thousand and they'll be home on the next flight.

Not sure what Brazil has on them to pull them off the flight but their story is pretty odd. I think they did something and used the robbery story to cover it up. I just don’t know what it is they did. But I would assume it was pretty bad to be getting this kind of response.

Is lying to NBC an crime in Brazil? Don’t these dipshit police have real crimes to investigate?

Why would the brazilian government even try to pursue this further? Frankly it just makes the country look even worse and petty IMO.
