The Federal Police here in Brazil is investigating a 100 million dollars crime ring in Sao Paulo city, involving the sales of imported video games without the payment of proper taxes.
Around 40 retailers where busted today, with tax evasion charges close to 100 million dollars. Among them, brazilian import giants like B2W.
In other news, the pirated games sales in Brazil is estimated in around 10k units every single day, just for Sao Paulo.
So, this is why Nintendo does not want to get into the brazilian market: it is a no man´s land still, in many ways.
