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.

My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.
