Sports manufacturer Adidas, who are one of the 2014 World Cup's main sponsors, has had to suspend the sale of World Cup T-shirts after Brazil's authorities complained they sexualised the country's image.
One of the shirts had "Looking to score?" imprinted on it next to a woman wearing just a bikini on a sunny Rio de Janeiro beach.
The other had an "I love Brazil" heart resembling the upside-down buttocks of a woman wearing a thong bikini bottom.
Newly revealed documents reveal that MI5 taught Brazilian secret police the techniques deployed by the 1964-85 military dictatorship in horrific prisons like Rio de Janeiro’s House of Death. SARA VIVACQUA reports
