One of those was São Luiz in Roraima State, in the isolated far north of the country. Roraima’s Prosecutor’s Office is examining a contract for 800,000 reais ($163,000) for a Lima show scheduled for December – an exorbitant amount for a city with just over 8,000 residents, which is the second-poorest city in Roraima, with an annual GDP of around $30 million.
