Brazilian couple converts old school bus into a motorhome

Davi and Paula, from the channel 'Vida na Estrada', converted a 2009 Iveco City Class minibus into a 6.5-meter motorhome. They removed seats, floors, and extra windows, reinforced the chassis with welding, treated the body for rust, and insulated the floor. Inside, they installed modular furniture, a bathroom with a roll-up door, solar panels, and a rooftop terrace. The couple sold the motorhome to pursue a new travel project with a 4x4 Land Cruiser Prado for a trip to Alaska.

Police arrest family in Uberlândia on suspicion of drug trafficking and money laundering

Brazil's Federal Police conducted 'Operation Mens Occulta' against international cocaine trafficking, arresting a father and his two daughters—a lawyer and a psychologist. The family is suspected of accumulating luxury assets, including ranches, imported cars, thoroughbred horses, and a motorhome valued at approximately 1.2 million reais, using proceeds from cocaine smuggled from Paraguay. Over two years of investigation, police linked the group to the seizure of about 2.9 tons of cocaine. Financial reports revealed movements of around 70 million reais without a legitimate source.
