BRASÍLIA, BRAZIL – At least fourteen São Paulo police officers have been detained since Saturday on suspicion of killing or attempting to kill civilians.

Seven officers were arrested Monday for shooting three teenagers in July in the city’s North Zone, according to Subscribe to our Premium Membership Plan. Already Subscribed? Login Here
