Today (8) civil police officers serve 11 search and seizure warrants against suspects of defrauding the purchase of tickets for the Sugar Loaf cable car, in Rio de Janeiro, and then reselling them. According to the Civil Police, criminals used cloned or stolen cards to buy tickets through the cable car’s official channel. Afterwards, the group resold these tickets to tourists for a price below that charged by the concessionaire that manages the cable car. The scheme caused a loss of approximately R$ 150,000 in the period of six months for the concessionaire, as cardholders ask for a reversal of the purchase, when they identify its improper use.
