Police in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil say they have arrested the city's most wanted drug gang leader. The capture of Antonio Bonfim Lopes, known as Nem, came as police prepared to take control of Rocinha, Rio's biggest slum district. James Read of our America's desk reports.

巴西里约热内卢警察称逮捕本市头号通缉贩毒头目。这位被称为Nem的Antonio Bonfim Lopes被捕时，警察正准备控制Rocinha，这是该市最大的贫民窟。BBC驻美洲记者James Read报道。

Rio's most wanted drug suspect was found in the boot of a car that was stopped at a police checkpoint as it was leaving Rocinha. The driver reportedly claimed to be the Congolese honorary consul and then offered officers a huge bribe before his human cargo was discovered. Antonio Bonfim Lopes is alleged to be the leader of the drugs gang that controls Rocinha, Rio's biggest shantytown. It appears he was trying to escape the area before police moved in. The planned operation is the latest stage in a programme to reduce violent crime in Rio before the football World Cup in 2014.

里约头号毒品通缉犯是在汽车行李箱里被发现的，当时车停在一处警察检查点，正准备离开Rocinha。司机向警察称自己是刚果名誉领事，偷运被发现后，又要给警察大量贿赂。据说Antonio Bonfim Lope是控制里约最大贫民窟Rocinha的贩毒团伙的头目。显然他是想在警察来之前逃离此地，这次有计划的行动，是在2014年世界杯之前减少里约暴力犯罪行动的最新举措。
