The Ministry of Justice of Brazil reported that the Civil Police of the state of Rio de Janeiro thwarted a bombing attempt during Lady Gaga's concert in Rio de Janeiro, which took place on the beaches of Copacabana and was attended by over two million people.
The operation carried out led to the arrest of two individuals: a man in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, identified as the group's leader, arrested for illegal possession of a firearm, and a teenager in Rio de Janeiro, detained for possession of illegal materials. One of the suspects identified himself as a member of the community of Lady Gaga followers, known as "Little Monsters."
The group used coded language and extremist symbols to communicate and promote violent behavior among teenagers. According to the Ministry of Justice, the group was identified through intelligence work in collaboration with the Civil Police of the state of Rio de Janeiro. It was revealed that the group recruited young people, including minors, to plan violent actions, such as the use of improvised explosives and incendiary devices.
So far, no incidents have been reported during Lady Gaga's concert, and the performance proceeded normally.
