Police in the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro arrested one of the most wanted drug lords in the country on December 6. A few of the officers used the opportunity to pose for smiling selfies with him.
Just under 3,000 police officers and soldiers participated in the December 6 arrest of notorious drug lord Rogerio Avelino da Silva – nicknamed "Rogerio 157" – in the northern part of Rio. Rogerio 157 was cornered when the army surrounded the favela called Arará, where he was hiding.
