Crime Rates in Brazil Threaten Business

Violent crime is rising in Brazil and, if past trends hold true, that could be bad for the business community during a time when the Brazilian economy is already suffering.

Last Thursday night, Sao Paulo, the largest city in Brazil, saw the deadliest of six massacres this year.  At least six men carried out the attacks, killing 18 people.  A task force of 50 police officers is investigating the attack, including the allegation that off-duty or former police officers were involved.
