Brazil official says political crisis won’t hit Rio security (Yahoo Sports)
One of Brazil’s top security officials says the political turmoil that has brought repeated changes to key government positions will not affect security at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics. Andrei Rodrigues, responsible for overseeing Brazil’s security at special events, said Wednesday there will be no impact on the games despite staff turnover triggered by impeachment proceedings against suspended President Dilma Rousseff. ”We are absolutely sure of the quality of the operation we are assembling,” Rodrigues said.
