Quite interesting, I had no idea about this.
Interesting that after the war, Brazil was one of the bigger countries that former Nazis escaped to. (I think)

One story I’m quite proud of was towards the end of my time living in Brazil. I spent a good 40m in a taxi talking to the driver the whole time. At the end of the ride he asked me if I was from Rio Grande do Sul, a state in Brazil where a lot of former nazis went.
IOW, he thought my Portuguese was native but accented. I took it as a complement.

The State Department and its consulate in Rio de Janeiro are warning American travelers about a scam in which criminals seduce unsuspecting visitors, drug their drinks and steal their belongings. The scam occurs year-round, but the agency expects to see predatory behavior during Carnival, the raucous party kicking off this weekend and running through March 8.
The U.S. consulates and embassy in Brazil issued a security alert Feb. 3 titled “Carnival and Drugging-Dating Scam 2025.” Steve Royster, consular chief at the consulate general in Rio, told The Washington Post in an interview Thursday that scammers typically target young, male tourists in bars, nightclubs and crowded areas or through dating apps.
