Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] Brazilian police reported that they had prevented a terrorist attack at a concert by American singer Lady Gaga inRio de Janeiro. About 2 million people attended the event, and the detainees were planning to carry out an explosion.

The state police website notes that the crime was planned by a group that recruited people, mostly teenagers, to carry out attacks. At a Gaga concert, the attackers were supposed to detonate a homemade explosive device and throw several Molotov cocktails.

Brazilian law enforcement officials note that the criminals intended to commit terror against minors and members of the LGBT community (the LGBT movement is recognized as extremist in Russia and is banned). At the same time, the perpetrators saw their ultimate goal as gaining fame on social networks.

The leader of the group and the teenager who was preparing the attack at the concert have been detained. According to the police, searches in this case were carried out in different cities of the country.
