Brazil Arrests 24 Environment Ministry Officers For Corruption, Forgery
SAO PAULO, Brazil — Police arrested 24 federal environmental protection agents accused of falsifying reports and selling illegal permits, and seven people who allegedly bribed the officials, Brazilian authorities said.

Federal police said in a statement that the suspects, who were arrested in Rio de Janeiro state on Wednesday, allegedly bought and sold permits for out-of-season fishing and illegal construction.

Police said nearly 200 officers participated in the investigation, which began in July 2005 based on a tip by another employee of the environmental agency, known as Ibama.

1. Good News!
I'd love to see a lot more countries making more of an effort to stomp on this kind of corruption.
