Judge gets 8yrs in prison for driving confiscated Porsche belonging to Brazil's former richest man
A federal court in Rio de Janeiro sentenced a Brazilian judge to eight years imprisonment on Tuesday for driving confiscated luxury vehicles, local media reported.
Judge Flavio Souza, who was presiding over criminal proceedings against former billionaire Eike Batista, was removed from office in 2015 after he was caught driving Batista’s Porsche Cayenne in Rio.
The judge also kept another luxury car confiscated from Batista in his garage, as well as a piano and several Rolex watches.
They were seized by a court from Batista, once Brazil’s richest man, because of his high debts, the O Globo news portal reported.
In 2012, Batista had a net worth of 30 billion dollars, making him the seventh wealthiest person in the world, according to Forbes magazine. His wealth plummeted due to strategic mistakes, a drop in oil prices, falling stock prices and criminal proceedings following corruption allegations. (dpa/NAN)

Former Minister of Aviation, Senator Stella Oduah, has said she is unaware of any probe by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC,over a N225 million bullet-proof BMW allegedly purchased by her when she was a minister.
Oduah told the News Agency of Nigeria in Abuja, yesterday, that there was no basis upon which she could be probed, saying the vehicle did not belong to her.
She said: “To start with, I do not know where any letter on the probe is because nobody has invited me, and as far as I know, there is nothing and there cannot be anything on invitation for purchase of a BMW. “I did not buy a BMW; I have never bought a BMW. The BMW is a property of the government, and it is still in government care. The car is with the agency that bought it. “The agency is still using it, and so, why will the car, which belongs to government and in the care of government and being used by government, be an issue for me?”
Serial rapist defiles 5-yr-old girl, arrested
According to report on Vanguard, Policemen attached to Ilasa Division in Lagos have arrested a suspected serial rapist for allegedly defiling a five-year-old girl at Osoyintola area of Ilasamaja.
Preliminary investigation, as gathered, revealed that the victim was the sixth minor to be raped by the suspect, identified as Emeka.
Emeka, reportedly, usually lured his victims, whose ages are between five and six years, with sweets and biscuits into bathrooms and toilets, where he rapes them.
He met his Waterloo weekend, after a tenant caught him in the act with the five-year-old and raised the alarm. A resident, Tolani Bakare, told Vanguard that “ Emeka gave the girl biscuit, took her into the toilet and raped her.
“The girl was heard crying. Her elder sister, who was looking for her, heard her voice and started calling her name. At that point, Emeka rushed out of the toilet and bolted. The victim told her sister that Emeka had been doing it to her for some time.
“That was not the first time he has done such an act. He has done it to five other children between ages five and six, but he would end up begging their parents to forgive him.”
The victim’s mother reported the incident to policemen at Ilasamaja Division, consequent upon which a manhunt was launched for Emeka. Vanguard gathered that he was arrested at about 10p.m. from his hideout around the area. Police sources alleged that attempts by Emeka’s family members to bribe the Police were rebuffed by the Divisional Police Officer, Superintend Oriyomi Oluwasanmi.
Medical report, according to Police sources, revealed that the victim’s hymen had been broken and that there was penetration. Sources further stated that the suspect had been transferred to the Gender Unit of the Lagos State Police Command, Ikeja
