Brazilian drug lord loves Justin Bieber

When Brazilian commandos raided the Rio De Janeiro slum yesterday they found something truly shocking at the city's most notorious drug gang hangouts - a Justin Bieber mural.

It's not the music you would instantly connect with a bunch of South American drug barons but in the home of Pezao, one of the area's top traffickers, the police found a giant mural of the Canadian. Seems drugs do affect the mind after all.

In the raid 2,600 police and army operatives swept through a Brazilian slum seizing 11 tons of marijuana and "a small arsenal" of weapons—including a missile—from a notorious drug gang. The clashes lead to at least 50 deaths.

The hope was to weaken the Red Command drug gang and capture some of its notorious members—like Zeu, the drug lord behind the samurai-sword murder of Brazilian journalist Tim Lopes.
