[00:00:00] Of the 23 bodies found, 17
[00:00:04] are being investigated as homicides. For the police, the
[00:00:08] response to the crime is already being given. The
[00:00:12] response is that crime doesn't pay, that they're going to jail, and
[00:00:16] a true drug trafficking spy center was discovered by
[00:00:19] the police in the north zone of São Paulo. The criminals used security cameras to
[00:00:23] monitor the streets and track police
[00:00:26] movements. During the operation, two men were arrested, the agents also
[00:00:30] seized drugs, a fake rifle, and even hidden
[00:00:34] money.
[00:00:36] Inside the house, used by the gang, the materials were
[00:00:40] hidden in unusual places. During the
[00:00:43] searches, the police found a large quantity
[00:00:47] of drugs under the mattress, inside this
[00:00:50] bag were almost a thousand portions of drugs,
[00:00:54] ready to be sold, including
[00:00:56] crack, marijuana and cocaine. In the kitchen,
[00:01:00] inside an electric fryer, to their
[00:01:03] surprise, the agents found part of the
[00:01:06] drug trafficking
[00:01:07] money.
[00:01:11] The police also located several
[00:01:15] radio communicators and almost 20 cell phones,
[00:01:19] the suspicion is that the group had a communication
[00:01:22] network so that the traffickers would be
[00:01:25] alerted if the police approached the
[00:01:28] property. During the searches, a replica rifle
[00:01:32] was also seized. The police officer compared the weapon with a
[00:01:36] real rifle. The similarity between the two
[00:01:40] is impressive. This rifle here, for us and for the
[00:01:44] layman who is a common citizen, especially at
[00:01:47] night, if we place it here next to
[00:01:51] our rifle that we work with, it is very
[00:01:55] similar, right? So, we can note here even the
[00:01:58] magazine here, which
[00:02:03] there is no record of you can see here, so at night it ends up being very
[00:02:07] similar for the population and law-abiding people end up
[00:02:10] really being frightened. This police action took place
[00:02:14] here in the north zone of São Paulo, within a community known as
[00:02:18] Boi Malhado. According to the military police, the agents
[00:02:21] had received several complaints in recent days
[00:02:25] from residents, reporting the
[00:02:27] responding to a frequent holding of funk parties and also
[00:02:30] drug trafficking in several parts of the region and
[00:02:33] armed traffickers, the police were patrolling,
[00:02:36] when two men were seen in a suspicious
[00:02:40] neighbor moved to the attitude, as soon as they noticed the police presence, they ran
[00:02:43] into a house, where they tried to hide, the
[00:02:47] agents followed the pair and carried out an approach, during
[00:02:51] the searches they found with them a large quantity of
[00:02:55] money and narcotics. Several
[00:02:57] security cameras were also found. The equipment was
[00:03:01] installed in several streets in the community, the
[00:03:05] gang had access to all the movement in the
[00:03:08] area and watched for approaching police cars, as
[00:03:12] there are several small cameras here and
[00:03:15] everything they put in strategic points in the community
[00:03:19] to really monitor the presence of police cars in the area,
[00:03:22] credit cards, gold jewelry, watches,
[00:03:26] computers, notes for trafficking.
[00:03:30] and other electronic equipment, everything was
[00:03:32] taken to this police station and will undergo
[00:03:36] forensic examination. During the police action, two members of the
[00:03:39] group were arrested, another two, one man and one
[00:03:43] woman, were also in the house, and were
[00:03:46] taken in, but were released after giving
[00:03:50] their statement. Let's talk about the case of
[00:03:54] Rosângela, a pensioner who disappeared and was found dead. Investigators
[00:03:57] are getting closer to unraveling what is behind this
[00:04:01] crime? The agents found the body of a
[00:04:05] woman on Adrianópolis Road in the Santa
[00:04:08] Rita neighborhood in Nova Iguaçu, in the Baixada Fluminense on
[00:04:12] the 6th. She was in a remote,
[00:04:15] isolated place and without documents. Therefore,
[00:04:19] she spent several days at the IML of Nova Iguaçu to be
[00:04:22] identified. The advanced state of decomposition
[00:04:26] also hindered the work of the agents. It was...
[00:04:31] fear, Forensic odontology that confirmed that it was Rosângela's
[00:04:33] body. During the autopsy, experts
[00:04:37] found a cranial depression in the lateral
[00:04:40] region, caused by blunt force, in other
[00:04:44] words, Rosângela was violently assaulted in the
[00:04:47] head. The full report should be released in the
[00:04:51] coming days. The civil police are looking for images from security
[00:04:55] cameras in the Irajá neighborhood where Rosângela
[00:04:58] lived, and of the entire route to Nova Iguaçu in the Baixada
[00:05:02] Fluminense, where her body was found. The
[00:05:05] objective is to try to identify those involved
[00:05:09] in the pensioner's death. In addition, the banking
[00:05:12] and telephone records of Rosângela have
[00:05:15] already been broken, as well as those of people close to
[00:05:19] her. For the family, Rosângela had been
[00:05:22] missing since Friday, the
[00:05:24] 16th, when she stopped replying to messages on her
[00:05:28] cell phone. Rodney, the pensioner's younger brother,
[00:05:32] was the last to be personally with her on
[00:05:35] October 4th, but told our team
[00:05:38] that soon after that encounter he began to find his sister's
[00:05:42] replies in the messaging
[00:05:45] app strange. From the 6th onwards, the message was no longer the same that she spoke to
[00:05:49] me every day, every day I spoke to her, every day I spoke to her, that is, from the 5th
[00:05:52] onwards, whenever you called her on the phone, you thought your sister was strange, she was
[00:05:56] strange, she didn't answer and then she started sending some images
[00:06:00] that she never sent, even the "good morning"
[00:06:04] greetings were different. Last week, the family
[00:06:07] discovered that her house in Irajá, in the North Zone,
[00:06:10] and the car were already
[00:06:12] with another supposed owner, João Vítor Alves da
[00:06:16] Silva, owner of a car wash in the Pedro community, in Colégio, North
[00:06:19] Zone of Rio. At the
[00:06:23] moment he arrived at the property, João was
[00:06:25] approached by the pensioner's relatives and replied
[00:06:29] that he had bought Rosângela's belongings and even
[00:06:33] said since when he had the disappeared woman's
[00:06:37] car. And how long have you had her car?
[00:06:40] Since the first
[00:06:42] round elections, right? And you're
[00:06:46] living in the house? Yes, I am. I'm not
[00:06:50] living in the house yet, I'm just getting the house ready. Soon after,
[00:06:54] the man was taken to the police station to give
[00:06:57] a statement. His cell phone and Rosângela's car were
[00:07:01] seized. The next day, he was heard again,
[00:07:05] this time his girlfriend also gave
[00:07:08] a statement. The two left the police station last
[00:07:12] Thursday, only around 9:30 at night.
[00:07:16] Investigators also took the statements of
[00:07:20] other relatives of Rosângela. A
[00:07:23] second man also came forward at the police station, Artur da
[00:07:27] Conceição Ferreira. He was pointed out by the family as
[00:07:31] the person who made a Pix transfer of R$
[00:07:34] 200 to Rosângela's nephew's account on October 9th,
[00:07:40] request made by message to her. The
[00:07:43] situation caused strangeness among
[00:07:46] family members. Artur gave his statement and was
[00:07:49] released. The pensioner's motorcycle and her
[00:07:53] dog, Kiara, are also
[00:07:57] missing. The family cannot understand what
[00:08:01] happened and awaits the progress of the
[00:08:03] investigations to find out who killed the
[00:08:07] pensioner and why.
[00:08:10] A police operation carried out search and seizure warrants against a group that
[00:08:14] ran a sexual exploitation scheme involving teenagers. Reporter Lúcio
[00:08:18] Castro has more information.
[00:08:21] Hello, the Nexon operation of the Civil Police combats a
[00:08:25] criminal network for the production of pornographic videos with
[00:08:28] teenagers. Teams are on the streets to fulfill
[00:08:32] 10 arrest warrants and 18 search and
[00:08:36] seizure warrants. On the list of those arrested so far are a
[00:08:39] military police officer and a parliamentary advisor. The
[00:08:43] investigations began at the Alcântara police station in São
[00:08:46] Gonçalo, mainly after the
[00:08:49] arrest of Mateus Gonçalves, 36
[00:08:52] years old. According to the agents, he is pointed out as
[00:08:56] the head of the criminal scheme and also the perpetrator of the rape
[00:09:00] of a 16-year-old girl.
[00:09:03] At the time, two notebooks and two cell
[00:09:07] phones were seized from his apartment, which is in Caraí,
[00:09:11] a noble neighborhood in Niterói. From the analysis of the
[00:09:14] memory of the devices and security camera images,
[00:09:18] a large network for the generation of
[00:09:21] pornography videos with teenagers was uncovered, in a scheme
[00:09:24] of sexual slavery. There were
[00:09:27] also scenes of gang rape, where the victims were subjected
[00:09:31] to torture. The subordination of this
[00:09:34] 16-year-old girl was maintained by
[00:09:38] the criminals with blackmail regarding the dissemination of the
[00:09:41] videos. Together with her parents, she sought out the civil
[00:09:44] police and the child protection council, where she made
[00:09:47] all the complaints. Currently, the teenager
[00:09:50] receives assistance from the program for the protection of children
[00:09:54] and adolescents threatened with death, as well as
[00:09:58] various judicial bodies. Lúcio Castro
[00:10:01] from São Gonçalo in Rio de Janeiro, for Record
[00:10:04] News.
[00:10:06] The court blocked more than R$ 370
[00:10:10] million from companies that operate in the illegal gold trade in São Paulo. A
[00:10:14] task force also inspected stores in the center and
[00:10:17] sealed establishments suspected of receiving stolen goods
[00:10:21] to melt and resell.
[00:10:25] The image shows a man sealing an iron door
[00:10:29] with an electric welder.
[00:10:32] On the other side of the door was a clandestine factory.
[00:10:36] used to weigh,
[00:10:39] melt and remold stolen gold. The
[00:10:43] action is part of the third phase of Operation Reverse
[00:10:46] Gold, which combats the illegal trade of
[00:10:50] the precious metal. Thirty-one search and
[00:10:54] seizure warrants were executed in homes and gold trading
[00:10:58] stores. Several pieces were
[00:11:01] seized, all without fiscal proof of
[00:11:04] origin. Any merchandise from a store without an entry invoice is illegal.
[00:11:08] That's what we're going to seize, evaluate, and leave in custody. The police
[00:11:11] action focused mainly here in the
[00:11:14] so-called "ring of fire" in the central region of São
[00:11:17] Paulo, which concentrates stores and workshops
[00:11:20] specialized in the melting of jewelry.
[00:11:24] According to the investigation, stolen
[00:11:27] alliances, chains, and rings ended up
[00:11:30] here to be melted and
[00:11:32] resold, because some of these places
[00:11:36] they say they provide
[00:11:39] services, such as jewelry repair, but in
[00:11:43] reality what they do is
[00:11:45] receive material,
[00:11:49] product of crime, with
[00:11:52] concealment, hiding
[00:11:56] repair and it's not, many times they are
[00:11:59] broken due to criminal action. The new
[00:12:03] stage of the operation targeted the financial core of the
[00:12:06] group, which is suspected of money laundering. The police
[00:12:10] managed to block more than R$ 374
[00:12:13] million in assets of the
[00:12:17] investigated. A man who was already wanted by
[00:12:20] justice for criminal organization was arrested
[00:12:23] in this phase. The investigations of Operation Reverse
[00:12:27] Gold began in 2024, after the
[00:12:30] influencer Buzeira gave player Neymar a
[00:12:33] gold necklace valued at R$2 million. The
[00:12:37] gift drew the attention of the police, since Buzeira
[00:12:41] had recently been arrested for involvement with criminal
[00:12:44] organization. From this episode, the police discovered
[00:12:48] a criminal structure behind the jewelry trade.
[00:12:51] In a note, the Union of the Jewelry
[00:12:55] Trade of São Paulo informed that the clandestine
[00:12:58] commercialization of precious metals feeds a
[00:13:01] direct criminal chain that harms the
[00:13:04] formal merchant, in addition to causing irreparable financial
[00:13:08] losses to the honest entrepreneur. The
[00:13:12] solution is, in fact, to physically interdict these
[00:13:15] locations. Today we are going to physically interdict
[00:13:19] them with bricks, with cement so that these
[00:13:22] individuals no longer buy stolen or robbed
[00:13:26] objects, and participate in this criminal ecosystem
[00:13:29] that harms so many
[00:13:30] people.
[00:13:34] Look at the next news. Several
[00:13:37] people died in a tragic accident between two trains
[00:13:41] in Spain. Our correspondent Ana Paula Gomes has more
[00:13:44] information.
[00:13:46] Hello, the accident happened in the central region of the country, in
[00:13:50] Toledo, about 60 km from the capital
[00:13:53] Madrid. Two high-speed trains collided and two
[00:13:57] wagons derailed. Authorities believe the number of victims will
[00:14:01] be even higher. More than 500 people
[00:14:04] were on these two trains,
[00:14:06] 147 passengers on one and
[00:14:09] 397 people on the other. Emergency
[00:14:13] teams are on site providing assistance to
[00:14:17] the victims. Train circulation between Madrid and
[00:14:21] Andalusia has been suspended. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro
[00:14:25] Sanchez said he was shocked by the accident and leaders here from
[00:14:28] Europe, such as French President Emmanuel Macron, Italian
[00:14:32] Prime Minister Georgia Meloni and the Prime Minister
[00:14:35] here of Portugal, Luís Montenegro, expressed
[00:14:38] solidarity with Spain and the victims. From Lisbon,
[00:14:42] Ana Paula Gomes, for Record News.
[00:14:46] A tornado killed four workers in Turkey. According to authorities,
[00:14:49] the storm hit a construction site. The wind destroyed two
[00:14:53] containers where the workers were staying.
[00:14:56] Residents reported that many objects were
[00:14:59] launched into the air. The passage of the tornado lasted only
[00:15:03] about 5 minutes, according to witnesses. Emergency teams
[00:15:07] were sent to the site to assist the
[00:15:10] injured.
[00:15:12] And in India, a cyclone caused giant waves and
[00:15:16] floods. The sea water invaded a road and
[00:15:19] overturned vehicles. In
[00:15:22] other coastal areas, the water reached streets and houses. Residents
[00:15:26] of threatened regions began to move to safer
[00:15:28] locations. Indian authorities also evacuated thousands of
[00:15:32] people from high-risk areas. The forecast is that the
[00:15:35] cyclone will continue through the country
[00:15:39] today.
[00:15:41] The election that will define the next prime minister of Israel ended
[00:15:45] yesterday, and the counting is expected to take a few days. Exit
[00:15:49] polls show an undefined
[00:15:51] scenario. To govern,
[00:15:55] 61 of the 120 seats in the Knesset, the Israeli
[00:15:59] Parliament, are needed. According to
[00:16:02] exit polls, the opposition bloc led by the
[00:16:06] former general.
[00:16:10] The Likud coalition, Prime Minister Benjamin
[00:16:13] Netanyahu's party, has 50, the Arab
[00:16:16] parties got 17. Thus, neither
[00:16:20] the opposition nor the ruling party would have an absolute
[00:16:23] majority. The impasse can be resolved with
[00:16:26] negotiations to form a coalition government that unites the
[00:16:30] most voted parties, or with a new
[00:16:32] election. Between 2019 and
[00:16:35] 2022, the country faced a political crisis that led to
[00:16:39] five electoral rounds. These are the
[00:16:42] first elections in the country since the attacks of October 7,
[00:16:45] 2023. Since the opening of the gates, the polling
[00:16:48] stations have been busy. According to
[00:16:51] authorities, voter turnout was the highest in recent
[00:16:54] decades. About 70,000 Israelis from
[00:16:58] abroad returned to the country to vote. Among them
[00:17:01] Nova, who moved to Brazil a year ago. I have felt a
[00:17:05] very strong mobilization... I think a lot of people are coming
[00:17:09] to vote, the airports are full, people here also want
[00:17:12] a change, a hope for
[00:17:15] a better future after these three years that were very
[00:17:19] difficult here.
[00:17:21] We'll talk again about Senator Flávio Bolsonaro in the
[00:17:25] United States, because the American government said it will allow Flávio's
[00:17:29] entry into the country. Our correspondent Juliana Rius has more
[00:17:32] information.
[00:17:35] Hello to everyone who follows us here on Record News. The American
[00:17:38] State Department confirmed that it will issue
[00:17:41] visas for Flávio, his wife and two
[00:17:44] daughters. The documents will allow the family to
[00:17:47] legally remain here in the United States. The American
[00:17:51] press reported that Trump approved the senator's
[00:17:54] entry after his defeat in the elections. According to a
[00:17:58] source close to the United States government, American
[00:18:01] Secretary of State Marco Rubio would be assisting in this
[00:18:04] trip. Rubio, however, did not.
[00:18:31] seconds later he lifted the motorcycle as if he were
[00:18:34] helping and then left. That's
[00:18:37] when the victim noticed R$ 150 missing from his wallet and
[00:18:41] called the municipal guard who arrested the thief. He will be charged with
[00:18:45] theft. The money was returned to the
[00:18:48] elderly man.
[00:18:51] And a suspect of sexually harassing women in the streets of Guarulhos
[00:18:55] in São Paulo was arrested by the municipal civil guard. He was
[00:18:59] identified with the help of security cameras and confessed to the
[00:19:02] attacks, but after giving a statement, he was
[00:19:05] released. Understand the reason now.
[00:19:08] The man suspected of harassing women in the streets of Guarulhos in
[00:19:12] Greater São Paulo was arrested by the municipal
[00:19:15] civil guard. Jobson Bruno Alves de Souza,
[00:19:19] 37 years old, is the motorcyclist who appears in
[00:19:22] these images approaching women
[00:19:25] and touching their bodies aggressively.
[00:19:28] He was located at the house where
[00:19:32] he lives with his family. The agents seized the suspect's
[00:19:35] motorcycle and helmet.
[00:19:45] An adhesive with Japanese writing on the motorcycle, the same
[00:19:48] adhesive appears in the footage that
[00:19:51] recorded the approaches against the women. The
[00:19:54] similarity helped to link the motorcycle
[00:19:58] to the suspect. During the arrest, he denied
[00:20:01] everything, but at the police station he confessed to the
[00:20:05] crime. During the statement, the suspect
[00:20:08] also gave details about how he acted. He
[00:20:12] didn't want to talk because of shame for his family, along with his children, with his wife, who are not
[00:20:16] aware of the acts he committed when he supposedly went out
[00:20:19] to work, as he reports that he left at 5 AM and returned at
[00:20:23] 8 AM, and it was during this period that he committed these
[00:20:27] acts. In the images, the motorcyclist approaches
[00:20:30] a woman who is standing on the sidewalk in
[00:20:34] front of her own house. He touches her body.
[00:20:37] Startled, the victim moves away
[00:20:40] and then runs. Jobson still goes after her.
[00:20:44] About two hours later, he acts
[00:20:47] again. The motorcyclist passes another woman
[00:20:51] and turns around, following in her direction.
[00:20:54] The approach is not fully visible in the image, but
[00:20:58] the action happens in the same way. Jobson was
[00:21:01] released, walked out the front door. The civil
[00:21:05] police informed that there was no flagrant situation and
[00:21:09] that he will respond while
[00:21:11] at liberty.
[00:21:14] Very well, the police broke up a party that was disturbing the peace of the
[00:21:18] residents, but then the partygoers revolted and
[00:21:21] decided to attack the house of an elderly couple, well,
[00:21:25] you'll see how this case ended now in the
[00:21:28] report. It's early morning, almost
[00:21:32] 4 AM, what should be a night of
[00:21:36] rest, turns into a nightmare for the residents of
[00:21:39] QR615 in
[00:21:41] Samambaia.
[00:21:46] The residents called the police to break up a
[00:21:50] party fueled by alcoholic beverages and loud
[00:21:52] car sound systems. With the arrival of the police car, the neighbor
[00:21:56] turns off the sound. Some party guests scatter
[00:21:59] through the street. Tempers seem to be flaring. A
[00:22:03] man argues with the police and is hit by
[00:22:06] a jet of pepper spray. Notice,
[00:22:09] while the officers leave the scene, one of them
[00:22:13] kicks the police car. A woman in a brown dress also
[00:22:17] throws something at the police car. That's
[00:22:21] when the terror begins for an elderly
[00:22:24] couple. Believing that it was them who called the
[00:22:27] police, the party guests begin to attack
[00:22:31] the couple's house. Objects are thrown
[00:22:34] against the garage, three men start kicking the
[00:22:37] gate.
[00:22:40] The photos taken the next day show the extent of the
[00:22:44] damage. The gate was broken, the
[00:22:47] car had one of its taillights...
[00:22:50] Even a trash bag ended up on the roof of the
[00:22:54] residence. While the group of vandals kicked the
[00:22:58] gate and threw things at the house, inside,
[00:23:01] Mrs. Irene and Mr. Gilson watched everything in panic.
[00:23:05] Their fear was that they would invade the house. My fear
[00:23:09] was that they would invade my house and do something to me and my
[00:23:12] husband. I felt that if they had really
[00:23:15] invaded, since the gate went even further,
[00:23:18] they would certainly have broken the door and done something
[00:23:22] different to me and my husband. According to the family, the problem
[00:23:25] began about a year ago, when the denounced
[00:23:30] region. Since then, residents
[00:23:33] complain about the very loud music and say that
[00:23:36] tranquility has become rare. Peace and quiet
[00:23:40] ended here more than 3 years ago due to the arrival of
[00:23:44] new people to this street. By phone, our team
[00:23:47] also tried to contact the neighbor. The residents
[00:23:50] reported him as responsible for the parties
[00:23:54] with loud music, but he did not answer our
[00:23:56] call.
[00:24:02] Images of people dressed as clowns walking through the streets during
[00:24:06] the early morning hours are spreading on social media, and some people are saying
[00:24:09] that these people are actually criminals and that
[00:24:13] they are attacking people. Some residents are even choosing not to
[00:24:17] leave their homes out of fear.
[00:24:20] Mask, colorful clothes, wig. The
[00:24:24] costume is of a clown, but far
[00:24:26] from the circus rings, they appear on the street during
[00:24:30] the early morning and scare the
[00:24:33] residents.
[00:24:36] Here there are no circus acts, much less
[00:24:39] humor. Some appear with knives in their
[00:24:42] hands, walk together, stare at a
[00:24:45] camera and seem to intimidate anyone who crosses
[00:24:49] their path.
[00:24:51] We don't know if they're going to attack or not, it's
[00:24:53] dangerous. Behind the masks and
[00:24:57] makeup, a mystery. Who are these
[00:25:00] clowns? What are they doing on the streets in the
[00:25:03] early morning? In the images, they never
[00:25:06] appear alone. They walk in groups of three,
[00:25:10] four, even more. You run
[00:25:13] away, don't you, daughter? They say they approached cars that
[00:25:17] passed by, not even people.
[00:25:21] The videos of the so-called terror clowns are
[00:25:24] spread through social networks and it didn't take
[00:25:27] long for someone to guarantee that everything
[00:25:30] was true. What is common among
[00:25:34] so many messages is fear. There are people who
[00:25:38] say they can't sleep anymore, others have already
[00:25:41] changed their routine because
[00:25:44] of the alleged clowns. The
[00:25:47] alerts say that these...
[00:25:50] Clowns are circulating through Suzano,
[00:25:53] Guaianazes, Cidade Tiradentes and
[00:25:56] Poá. There was even a comment that a
[00:25:59] clown tried to grab a child, but...
[00:26:02] None of this was confirmed, we are here in
[00:26:05] Vila Medeiros, north zone of São Paulo,
[00:26:09] and it was precisely here that
[00:26:12] a resident said that that video, right, that
[00:26:15] the alleged clowns, at least dressed
[00:26:19] as clowns, that they appeared during the
[00:26:23] early morning, but with knives in their hands and
[00:26:26] walking in a synchronized way, it's even possible to see it through the video.
[00:26:30] Thiago shows me, my cinematographer, it was here
[00:26:33] passing by, there's even this building, right, they
[00:26:36] pass through this street here,
[00:26:40] the person who made the video, who recorded the video, ended
[00:26:44] up posting it in the message group and then what happened,
[00:26:47] it echoed
[00:26:50] and caused a commotion here
[00:26:54] in the neighborhood. I received the video. At first, we were like
[00:26:57] this, we were scared, right? Everyone started
[00:27:00] sharing it and people got scared too, so it became something
[00:27:04] that haunted us here on the avenue, right? So much so that
[00:27:08] I even closed my establishment earlier because
[00:27:11] we were a little worried, right, seeing the clowns there. The
[00:27:15] curious thing is that despite so many people commenting about the
[00:27:19] clowns and finding someone who has seen all this in person
[00:27:23] is not that simple. The majority know the story
[00:27:26] from videos or from what they heard
[00:27:29] and each one has a version of...
[00:27:33] I just didn't want to meet them in the early morning, right, but they said it was a Halloween
[00:27:37] recording, right? There are those who believe that it was all just
[00:27:40] a joke to get views on the internet,
[00:27:44] but there are also those who prefer not
[00:27:47] to risk it. It's a bit dangerous, because at night I come to train
[00:27:50] and I'm going down a bit worried, right? It's not just in São
[00:27:54] Paulo, similar publications also started
[00:27:57] circulating with references to Rio de Janeiro, Bahia and
[00:28:01] Maranhão. The Public Security Secretariat of São Paulo said that
[00:28:05] occurrences involving kidnapper
[00:28:08] clowns in Guarulhos. In Bahia and Rio
[00:28:12] de Janeiro, the civil police also informed that they
[00:28:14] did not locate any records with such
[00:28:18] information. After all, are they
[00:28:22] criminals, people dressed up for a
[00:28:25] recording or is it all just a bad taste
[00:28:28] joke? There's even the possibility that some images may have
[00:28:32] been produced with artificial
[00:28:35] intelligence, I think some joker
[00:28:38] wanted to go viral on the internet, because nowadays you post
[00:28:41] something, the power to go viral is very great and he ended
[00:28:45] up doing this wanting to scare the population, but
[00:28:49] I don't think there's anything like that, whatever
[00:28:52] the explanation, this story already harms
[00:28:55] those who have absolutely nothing to do with it, even the
[00:28:59] artists who work as clowns are...
[00:29:02] worried about the repercussions of the videos, the clown
[00:29:06] nose is already on his face
[00:29:09] in a little while Daril will
[00:29:13] transform into the clown Fonso, he
[00:29:17] who already works in the area and performs clown acts for
[00:29:20] 17 years, for now I'm going to take this clown nose, we
[00:29:24] he's going to do his makeup and just
[00:29:27] like thousands of people on social media, he
[00:29:30] watched the videos. and he became apprehensive, he became
[00:29:34] worried, because until then, a clown
[00:29:38] is synonymous with joy, brings joy and then he is afraid of
[00:29:41] being confused on the streets as a
[00:29:44] clown who brings terror, right, the
[00:29:47] clowns of terror, eh, just like
[00:29:51] you, other clowns were worried, how do you
[00:29:54] see this, huh? It's
[00:29:57] something, a situation that worries, right, not only
[00:30:01] us, but people. People who like the art of
[00:30:04] clowning, when it's time to work, Fonso
[00:30:07] enters the scene, with makeup,
[00:30:10] colorful clothes, red nose, lots of
[00:30:14] fun, he participates in parties and shows and
[00:30:18] lives to make people
[00:30:20] smile, but now he fears that the image
[00:30:24] of these scary characters
[00:30:26] will drive away the audience, it's not something we want for our
[00:30:30] image, something scary, because it can increase
[00:30:34] coulrophobia, which is fear of clowns, it already
[00:30:37] happens, I do presentations and I see people who are afraid of clowns,
[00:30:41] so these images, I think, can increase the number of people who are afraid of
[00:30:45] clowns, my goal as an artist is to make people laugh, right, I don't
[00:30:48] intend to cause fear, so eh, I want people
[00:30:52] to be happy with the image of the clown, I don't want people to be
[00:30:55] afraid, fear is also that people
[00:30:58] associate the clown with...
