They do not pay energy, they do not pay water, trade in stolen goods is released, motorcycles guys and no sign will circulate and they have their own police.
Today I accompanied a friend to his home in a Niterói community. The location is close to the Largo da Batalha. He advised me to leave my military identity in the car, I left in a remote location.
Right at the community entrance there were some youths armed with rifles. Apparently it was minors. I was a little apprehensive. I know I have behavioral characteristics that identify me as a military. I watched the weapons, which are positioned, the motorcycle and the possible path that would take not to be chased by a car.
Walking the streets I came to wonder excess footwear good brands and iphones. Obviously I have nothing against anyone wear good shoes or expensive equipment. However, the amount view there was much larger than normal elsewhere.
My friend explained to me that there trade in stolen goods is released.
theft of goods seized in police operation
To enter your house thermal shock brought me a great relief. Outside the temperature was almost 40 degrees, but as the air conditioning was on, the two of the afternoon in his room the atmosphere was very pleasant. All rooms in the house are air-conditioned.
My friend told me that there no one pays the electric bill and so their air-conditioning equipment are connected all day.
And the water? I asked.
Here, too, no one pays water. But in other communities it is also like this.
At the same time came to my mind the information that says that about 20% of the energy directed at the Rio is consumed by so-called cats and that this loss is divided among consumers who pay their bills. Regarding ha similar data water.
In the community I visited residents at least 30 thousand people. So no one knew pay bills or water. Traffickers do not allow companies that provide the services come to measure consumption or to deliver the bills. The community also does not receive GVT services, .NET etc.
