More than 2.1 million people attended a free concert held by Laga Gaga at Rio de Janeiro’s famous Copacabana Beach. Two suspects were arrested in raids carried out across four different states.

Brazilian police said on Sunday that they had foiled a bomb plot against a packed Lady Gaga concert in Rio de Janeiro a day earlier.

Two people were arrested in raids carried out across several states.

“The suspects were recruiting participants, including minors, to carry out coordinated attacks using improvised explosives and Molotov cocktails,” the police said in a statement.

“The plan was treated as a ‘collective challenge’ with the aim of gaining notoriety on social media,” police added.
