The information, in fact, was a lie.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;\u200bAfter field investigation, intelligence and data crossing, the agents verified that what happened did not correspond to the tourist&#8217;s report.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;On the day in question, the man went to a nightclub in Copacabana, in the South Zone, where he stayed until 7am.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;At the establishment, he had fun and consumed alcoholic drinks with several dancers.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;After leaving the club, in the company of two of the dancers, he tried to stay in a hotel, which was not possible because the British man&#8217;s wife, who was in the apartment rented by the couple, noticed an unusual movement on her husband&#8217;s credit card, and requested bank blocking.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Images obtained by DEAT police officers show the alleged robbery victim leaving the hotel, shortly afterwards, in a calm manner, still accompanied by the two women.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Therefore the scam called &#8220;Good night, Cinderella&#8221; did not occur.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Shortly afterwards, the tourist arrived at the apartment and told his wife that he had been a victim of the crime.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Police spokesperson Patricia Alemany said: &#8216;People have to understand that it is a crime to go to the police to [falsely] report a crime as serious as this.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;In this case, he is also being investigated for embezzlement, as he paid for the nightclub and immediately suspended the amount paid.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-12867949\/British-tourist-claimed-drugged-scammed-3-500-Brazil-nightclub-lying-hide-fact-cheated-wife-police-say.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>British tourist who claimed he had been drugged and scammed of \u00a33,500 in Brazil nightclub &#8216;was lying to hide the&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":144771,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Brit who claimed he was drugged and scammed &amp;apos;lied to hide infidelity&amp;apos;
