Brazilian police cracks drug-trafficking gang in Rio
RIO DE JANEIRO, Feb. 23 (Xinhua) -- Brazil's Federal Police said on Thursday it had broken up one of the country's biggest drug gangs and arrested at least 35 suspects.
Thirty-three suspects were nabbed in Rio de Janeiro and two more in neighboring Sao Paolo, where the gang's drugs were seized, the police said in a statement.
About 100 police forces took part in the operation targeting 36 members of a gang, which earned 700,000 U.S. dollars last year by selling cocaine in the cities of Volta Redonda, Pinheiral, Barra Mansa and Japeri.
