Brazil World Cup: Rio mugger on stealing from 'gringos'

Victoria Derbyshire

Available for over a year

A mugger (through a translator) in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, says that when stealing from tourists, he "looks for fear" as "if they are afraid I know they have something valuable". Victoria Derbyshire spoke to the mugger in a favela (slum) called Rocinha, in a programme looking at what football fans can expect when they go to the FIFA World Cup in Brazil in 2014. Rocinha is not far from where the England squad’s main base is due to be when they arrive for the World Cup next June.
