At least six men with their faces covered disguised as federal police and heavily armed entered the cargo terminal at Sao Paulo-Guarulhos International Airport on Thursday and unloaded nearly 1,600 pounds of gold and precious metals bound for New York City and Zurich, Switzerland, authorities said.
"They subdued the guard at the entrance," Assistant Police Chief João Hueb said during Friday's news conference.
In video released by authorities, the thieves could be seen pulling up at the terminal and signaling for airport workers to load up a vehicle with the packages.

A total of 44 shots were fired during the altercation, according to authorities, and it was captured on multiple CCTV cameras.

Philosophy instructor Nick French is teaching a summer 2019 course called "Individual Morality and Social Justice," in which students address questions such as "What makes an action right or wrong, good or bad?" and "What's involved in living a good life?" The course also seeks to address the question of what a "just society" looks like, and how individuals should "respond to injustice."
The first half of the course is dedicated to addressing "how individuals ought to live." Later, students will analyze "the justice of social arrangements."
French argued in a recent Jacobin Magazine op-ed that people need to "dispossess the benevolent rich of their ill-gotten gains." The leftist magazine states that French is also a member of the East Bay Democratic Socialists of America.
In the piece, titled "Even Nice, 'Generous' Rich People Are Not Your Friends," French suggests that having wealth is an automatic indication of immorality, even if one contributes that wealth to worthwhile social causes.

Greta Thunberg
16-year-old climate activist Greta Thunberg, recently dubbed "Apocalypse Guru", has sparked outrage by publishing a picture of herself wearing a shirt worn by members of the left-wing Antifa movement.
In one of her recent tweets, Thunberg notified her massive followship that she had released a song with the British indie pop band The 1975. All revenues will go to the climate movement Extinction Rebellion, which has made a name for itself by organising left-wing climate protests in Sweden and other countries.
"Time to rebel", the Nobel Peace Prize nominee wrote, posting a photograph of herself wearing a shirt tagged "Antifascist All Stars". Thunberg's shirt is also adorned with a five-pointed star and No Pasaran caption, ("They Shall Not Pass"), a Spanish War-era slogan popular in left-wing circles.

The arrests were carried out by officials from 1st Marine Division and the Naval Criminal Investigative Service during an 800-person battalion formation at Camp Pendleton in California.
"Information gained from a previous human smuggling investigation precipitated the arrests," the Marines said in a statement.
A spokesperson for 1st Marine Division confirmed to ABC News that a case of two Marines charged with human smuggling earlier this month "identified the allegations" against the individuals involved in Thursday's arrests.
The deaths happened when a two-level structure in the club, which is next to the athletes' village, collapsed at about 2am local time, hitting and pinning revellers, the official said.
Hundreds were inside the seven-storey nightclub at the time. The BBC reported the two people killed were aged 38 and 27, and were not competitors at the championships.
Yonhap news agency reported that nine athletes competing in the 2019 Fina aquatic World Championships were injured, though none of them seriously. Their injuries ranged from bruising to lacerations on their hands or feet, the agency said.

Muslim women staging a protest against the Triple Talaq bill.
The so-called Triple Talaq bill was passed on Thursday, with 302 votes in favor and 82 against. It seeks to make the practice of instant divorce, achieved simply by saying 'Talaq' three times, a criminal offence, punishable by three years in prison. The bill must now pass the upper house, where opposition parties are in the majority, before it becomes law.
Comment: It will be interesting to see how the Modi government manages to get this bill passed in India's upper house, the Rajya Sabha, where it is little short of majority...
