Lady Gaga Concert Bomb Threat: Police Arrest 2 Individuals Allegedly Planning Attack 

Authorities stopped a horrific tragedy from occurring at Lady Gaga’s recent concert. 

Brazilian police confirmed in a May 4 statement that two individuals had been arrested following an alleged bomb threat, referred to as “Operation Fake Monster” at the “Abracadabra” singer’s free concert in Copacabana Beach, Rio De Janeiro May 3, which saw a record-breaking 2.5 million people in attendance. 

“‘Operation Fake Monster’ was planned based on an investigation by the Rio de Janeiro Civil Police,” the May 4 statement, translated for Portuguese, read, “which identified that those involved were recruiting participants, including teenagers, to carry out integrated attacks using improvised explosives and Molotov cocktails.”

Police confirmed in the statement that a man, the alleged leader of the plan, was arrested for illegal possession of a firearm in Rio Grande do Sul, a city about 924 miles from where the concert took place. Another teenager with alleged connection to the plan was arrested for possession of child pornography in Rio de Janeiro, police confirmed.
