Alleged Vandalism at Veterans Cemetery Causes Controversy

Justin Bieber charged with vandalism in Brazil

On Nov. 8, 19-year-old pop star Justin Bieber was formally charged with vandalism following a spray painting graffiti session he conducted earlier this week on an old hotel wall in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

E Online reported that Brazilian authorities conducted a three day long hearing on the Biebs’ alleged infraction during which time they heard testimony “from everyone involved, including photographers who snapped him during the act, police officers, Justin’s security guards and others.”

The judge overseeing the vandalism case against Bieber is still reviewing the evidence against the young singer; but it’s already been concluded that although Bieber won’t get arrested or face any jail time in Brazil, there will be a fine as a consequence of his actions.

It will take at least 30 days for the judge to examine all of the evidence and determine the cost of the fine.

Police in Rio de Janeiro got the call earlier this week regarding Bieber’s spray painting antics. The complaint lodged stated that Justin and his entourage were spraying graffiti in Brazil’s Joá neighborhood, and marking up a wall belonging to the former Hotel Nacional.

Originally, according to representatives of Justin Bieber, the Biebs was granted permission by authorities in Rio de Janeiro to spray paint one particular wall, just not the wall he ended up vandalizing. Bieber’s reps explained that the original wall was in too dangerous of an area, and opted for the wall of the old Hotel Nacional, which looked abandoned to them.

Bieber had an interesting stay in Rio. In addition to his vandalism charge, he was allegedly witnessed leaving a brothel in Rio, a claim he vehemently denied on Twitter.

Bieber also stormed off stage after being hit with a water bottle during a concert, and was also filmed sleeping in a now-viral YouTube video by a mysterious woman, later identified as Tatiana Neves Barbosa.

Bieber left Rio the day following the vandalism complaint came to light as he continued on with his current concert tour in South America.

Today and tomorrow, Bieber will be performing at the River Plate Stadium with singer Carly Rae Jepsen in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
