U.S Air Marshals Flee Brazil

Two U.S air marshals recently arrested the wife of a prominent Brazilian judge on drug charges. These two air marshals were then arrested on trumped charges and had their passports taken by the Brazilian government. The air marshal's have since fled Brazil with alternate documents. While there are obvious issues with this fiasco, this could put a damper on relations between the U.S and Brazil with international flights. The U.S has not returned calls from the Brazil Embassy wanting the contact information on the air marshal's due to their missing their court date. Not only are the relations strained in this area, our decent relationship with Brazil on a whole could be damaged from this incident.
