Brazil police crack down on gambling

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil - Federal police Friday arrested the chief organizer of Rio's carnival parade, a federal judge and a prosecutor in a crack-down on illegal gaming and money laundering, authorities said.

Ailton Guimares Jorge, the president of the Independent League of Samba Schools, was among 24 people arrested for alleged involvement with illegal numbers games, bingo parlors and the distribution of slot machines, police said in a statement.

Also arrested were Judge Jose Eduardo Carreira Alvim, vice president of the federal court's second district, and federal prosecutor Joao Sergio Pereira. Police did not explain how the officials were involved.

Anisio Abrahao David, former president of the Beija Flor samba group — this year's Carnival champion, also was arrested in the crackdown, which also involved arrests in Sao Paulo, Brasilia and Bahia.

Rio's annual Samba Parade is the centerpiece of Brazil's carnival celebrations, which have largely been funded by the leaders of illegal numbers games.

Jorge and David were among 14 people convicted on similar gambling charges and sentenced to six years in prison in 1993. Both were released after serving only three years.

Those arrested will face charges ranging from corruption of public officials to influence pedaling and money laundering, police said.

i guess the samba competition next year should be very interesting.

Bom dia meninas.

Alix, boa sorte na tua entrevista. espero que você consiga algo logo.

Vanessa, também estou torcendo para que você consiga seu dream job.

Pois é, eu falei com o Charles que leu aqui quando a Alexa disse que $ 12,00 no mínimo pra trabalhar em escritório e ele disse que não funciona assim em cidade pequena, maybe em cidade grande. Como eu estou procurando em Kansas City e também em todas as cidades pequenas (que tem umas mil uma do lado da outra aqui), vamos ver.

NO Brasil eu iria em algumas agências de emprego e teria gente me ajudando. Aqui sucks porque eu tenho que me virar sozinha, eu estou 100% sozinha nessa, não tenho ninguém aqui que possa me ajudar. Aí o Charles diz que eu tenho que enviar meu resume nos lugares em person. Como eu vou saber aonde ir? Se eu tivesse que fazer isso em Curitiba pelo menos eu conheceria as empresas e tal, aqui eu não conheço como funciona as coisas, eu fiz isso em bancos, mas daí agora eu faço o que? Ponho um tênis e passo 1 mês andando e entrando em tudo quanto é lugar para oferecer meu resume? Ele diz que procurar pela internet não é muito bom, mas é a única solução que eu encontrei, eu realmente não sei mais o que fazer, e a cada dia que passa fico mais irritada, sem esperança, sem saber se eu estou perdendo meu tempo aqui abrindo um monte de e-mail tipo ''trabalhe em casa'' ou ''seja vendedor'' vá pra PQP, eu não pus no meu resume nada disso, parem de me mandar e-mail de merda.

Ok, I'lll quit ranting now.

Hey Nessa, during the period we thought we'd move to KC, I looked for jobs there (really any old office job), and they paid about $10-14/hr there and in surrounding Kansas areas (JoCo etc). You have your degree, right? Here in Minneapolis I would expect more. There are lots of office temp agencies around KC, and that would be a good place to start. Seriously, going to a bunch of companies is going to make you exhausted and probably won't result in much. Wait for an agency like Spherion or Prostaff or something like that to send you, IMO. It's only one interview and then off you go. Dai, you get American job experience with relatively little commitment unless you want it.

I'll look at Spherion and Prostaff. I'll also start looking for temp agencies, maybe that'll help. Thanks :thumbs:

Nessa, what I heard is that any company you hear about, look for it's website, or address, and go for it! Sometimes it's good to use the internet, but not exactly to search for job adds, but to search for companies and find their locations, and most of them have pages with announcements for jobs.

Craiglist é uma página de classificados. Eu achei meio bagunçada.

O que eu acho é que se tem alguma empresa aonde você gostaria de trabalhar, entre na página deles da internet e procure por CAREERS. Normalmente eles mostram as vagas disponíveis e você pode ver se tem alguma na sua área de experiência e também aonde vc mora. Mesmo que não tiver, você pode postar o seu currículo e se eles gostarem, possivelmente vão te chamar quando abrir alguma vaga. Os bancos são assim e também as grandes empresas. Não custa tentar!

Craigslist eh o que ha....

Se num me engano o ape que a gente mora saiu de la.

Carrerbuilder.com eh bom tb... Num custa nada dar uma olhada.

Num custa nada mesmo, nao que nem os sites brasileiros que voce (candidato) tem que pagar pra procurar emprego. E o empregador (que nao esta desempregado devendo horrores na praca e pode pagar) num paga nada...

Oi Alix, espero que vc esteja feliz com sua última semana trabalhando por comissão =)

Obrigada a todo mundo que está na torcida, vamos ver o que acontece. Enquanto isso, é pôr a blusinha vermelha e ir à luta lá na Target mesmo.

Nessa, a idéia da Alix é muito boa, eu tb fiz isso, entrava nos sites das agências em que eu gostaria de trabalhar e ia na seção "Careers". Muitas nem entraram em contato porque não tinham vagas abertas, mas outras me chamaram para entrevista. Concordo com vc: não é preciso ficar levando seu CV pessoalmente, vc só vai se cansar (e fazer exercício SEM ganhar dinheiro, hehe). Um site de emprego pode te ajudar, e o melhor é que como disseram, não precisa pagar. Nunca me conformei em ter que pagar pra procurar emprego lá no Brasil, acho errado pois quem tem mais dinheiro pode ter o CV no site mais tempo, o que se constitui em competição desigual na minha opinião.

O Craigslist é bagunçado mesmo, Laura, hehe, tem que ter paciência pra ficar procurando lá. Mas tem muita coisa boa, este carro que compramos através da lista tá novinho em folha, uma beleza, e foi muito barato.

Bon giorno para todos e todas!

Lis, eu primeiramente coloquei meu resume no yahoo hotjobs, monster and careerbuilder.com. Também coloquei em alguns army sites (for army spouse) e como eu trabalhei pra Nextel no Brasil eu entrei em alguns sites (principalmente de telecomunicações que eu já trabalhei para 2 empresas no BRasil e é o meu forte) como Sprint, Verizon e fui em careers e mandei meu resume.

Today I went to a employment agency I had an appointment and they're going to help me with my job search. I had a pre interview so let's see. The search goes on.
