Removal of hundreds of illegal cattle in the Amazon sparks protests and divides residents
The removal operation started last week in one of the country's most renowned Amazon conservation units, the Chico Mendes Extractive Reserve , named for the famed rubber tapper and environmentalist killed in 1988. Federal agents working with police and military officials seized around 400 heads of cattle from two farmers who had failed to comply with judicial eviction orders. The raids are set to continue in the coming weeks.

Grêmio ambushed at airport, security guard attacked 📹
The departure of the Grêmio delegation to Belo Horizonte had moments of tension this Saturday (16) in Porto Alegre. A group of 50 fans staged an ambush, invading a private area of Salgado Filho Airport when the bus with the athletes and technical committee arrived. The Tricolor will visit Atlético on Sunday (17), for the 20th round of the Brasileirão. Fernandão, a longtime Grêmio and Brazilian national team security guard, was assaulted while trying to contain the situation. He didn't even board the bus, as he needed medical attention and later filed a police report at the Police Palace. Grêmio arrived on Saturday in 15th place in the Brazilian Championship. They have 20 points from 18 matches. Vasco, who has 16 points from 17 matches, leads the Z-4. See the updated table here. The Tricolor comes from a defeat to Sport at the Arena. They have only one win in the last seven rounds played. And they suffered a drop in the playoffs of the South American Cup. A new stumble could mean the end of coach Mano Menezes' tenure. Grêmio will be without Braithwaite, who is serving a suspension. Kannemann Lucas Uebel/Grêmio This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

Brazilian police investigate possible ‘Goodnight, Cinderella' scam after British tourists reportedly drugged and robbed
Police in Rio de Janeiro say they're investigating a case in which two British tourists say they lost $21,000 after being drugged and robbed by three women near a beach. The incident appears to be the latest in a string of such incidents, which have come to be known in Brazil as 'Goodnight, Cinderella' scams, in which police say criminals seduce foreigners, spike their drinks and steal their belongings. One of the tourists told police he drank a spiked cocktail in the early hours of Thursday after he and his friend met three women at a bar, CNN Brasil reported. According to statements to the police, he said he lost consciousness while heading to the famous Ipanema beach with the women. According to CNN Brasil, the three women were later seen stopping a taxi and leaving the scene. After a witness called for help, the British tourists were taken to the hospital and received medical attention. They reported that the women stole two cell phones and carried out a bank transfer of roughly $21,000, according to CNN Brasil. The Civil Police of the State of Rio de Janeiro told CNN that authorities are trying to locate the perpetrators and that the Special Tourism Support Unit is analyzing security footage and interviewing witnesses. The UK Foreign Office has warned its citizens that dating apps in Brazil have been used by criminals to target foreign nationals, 'leading to spiking of drinks, robbery and theft from bank accounts.' It has urged people to exercise caution and be vigilant of their drinks and belongings. CNN's Alessandra Castelli contributed to this report. Solve the daily Crossword
