Weekly Magazines
For the first time after several months, none of the major Brazilian magazines talks about the political crisis in Brazil.
Veja 1924 brings an exclusive report: the "Whistle Mafia".
The Police caught a referee who was paid by a group of betters to influence the results of some matches; the betters placed bets on (illegal) internet sites. The referee was paid about R$ 15,000 (about US$ 6,000) per match. The betters didn't bet on odd results; instead, they bet only on the favourite team to win the match, the referee being only an extra insurance.
It is certain that at least eleven matches are under suspicion; the Sports Justice in Brazil will analyse each of the match, and some may be nulled. A few teams which already declared that they intend to go to courts to rectify their situtation.
Isto É says "It is possible to be happy".
Época brings a report on the "Middle class outlaws".
It is a report about the growth of cases of middle class youngster involved in outlaw activies. Most cases are related to traffic of drugs: xtc, anphetamines are produced in Europe and brought into Brazil by young travellers who distribute the drugs among friends and in parties.
