- nandemo 11y agoManaging to execute that heist is pretty amazing, but it's debatable whether they "got away" with it. One alleged mastermind was kidnapped and murdered, even though his family paid the ransom. Another was arrested. Many other suspects were eventually kidnapped or arrested. Also, I'm very skeptical about the reported figures for the recovered money, especially since part of it was found by the Military Police (which has a bad reputation for corruption in Brazil) instead of the Federal Police (which is relatively reliable).
