Cover your ass if you get your face on a couple of magazine covers in Brazil. In August 1998, TV soap star Gerson Brenner was shot in the head during a highway robbery. In late March 1999, Mariana Moraes Rangel, South America's 800-meter freestyle swimming champion, was shot and wounded by thugs attempting to steal her car in Rio de Janeiro. That same month, Wellington Di Camargo-the composer brother of a member of the popular country music singing duo of Zeze Di Camargo and Luciano-was snatched by a kidnapping gang. He was freed after a US$300,000 ransom payoff. The cops quickly nabbed 15 of the perps as they tired to drive into Paraguay. At least 2 of the kidnappers were cops. And you wonder.
