That must be the room that they interrogate their prisoners in.

they must also have a Metal Chair to put the prisoners in so they can make them watch the Justin Beiber movie and listen to his music non stop...What a Grizzly Death

2600 Brazilian police officers and army operatives raided the Rio headquarters of one of the country's most notorious drug gangs. They found 11 tons of marijuana, an arsenal of weapons and bundles of cash, which is what they expected to find. What they DIDN'T expect to find was the full length wall mural of Justin Beiber.

I don't have anything against Beiber, I just thought this was hilarious. :p This may be old news, but..... Wow.
Doesn't surprise me one bit. Pop music is a lot more global than people think.

When Internet radio streaming first came out, we got it straight away where I work. My boss at the time decided to do his first random radio surf, he was so excited. He said "this is going to be great, we'll get to hear all this cool music from around the world, and really open our ears up to new things". I told him "nonsense - I bet you they listen to exactly what we listen to, don't get your hopes up". So in an attempt to prove me wrong he dialed up a random station from some obscure South American country, and the first thing that came on was Madonna's "Express Yourself". Then he tried some random African station and got Michael Jackson's "Bad". On and on it went, after an hour of trying a new radio station in a country he'd never heard of each minute, he conceded defeat, having not heard one single song that he hadn't heard before.

If what's blowing you away instead is that they're criminals listening to this stuff, where I live there's a radio station that has a prison request show. Out of everything that radio station plays, the prison request show consistently plays the most popular, well-known and musically conservative music out of every show that they have. I always would have thought prisoners and criminals would be craving something heavy, weird or at least something different to what they already know - but no. Squeaky clean pop, commercial R&B and MOR hard rock all the way on that show (of course they do play both AC/DC's and Thin Lizzy's "Jailbreak" a fair bit, but that's about as "pushing the "boundaries" as it gets).
It's not surprising that they listen to western music, or even Justin Beibers music. What's surprising is that the drug lord liked Justin Beiber so much that he put up a full wall mural of him in the middle of his drug cartels headquarters. He REALLY likes Justin Beiber!

A more likely explanation is that his young son or daughter painted it and he's just proud of their painting ability.

2600 officers?

Was this some kind of invasion?
This. I get that it's a major drug bust, but Gawd, 2600 officers? Over the top much?
I can understand their desperation, drug hunting is harder than you think!

Well there goes another saying: Bieber is Serious Business in Brazil.
