Brazilian authorities detained the wife of former boxing champion Arturo Gatti and formally accused her on Sunday of killing him at an upmarket seaside tourist resort in Brazil.

Police said 23-year-old Amanda Rodrigues was taken into custody after contradictions in her interrogation and presented a formal accusation against her. Prosecutors will later decide whether she will be charged.

Rodrigues, who denies any involvement in her husband’s death, was the first to find the slain boxer’s body early on Saturday inside the vacation apartment they were renting at the Porto de Galinhas resort in northeastern Brazil, police said.

The former junior welterweight champion was apparently strangled with the strap of a purse, which was found at the scene with blood stains, said Milena Saraiva, a spokeswoman for the Pernambuco state civil police.

She told The Associated Press that the Canadian also sustained a head injury.

Police said Rodrigues, a Brazilian, could not explain how she spent nearly 10 hours inside the residence without noticing that Gatti was already dead.

Rodrigues told police she had a fight with Gatti after dinner on Friday night and he pushed her to the ground during the altercation, causing her to sustain minor injuries to her elbow and chin.

She told authorities Gatti was drunk and that a third party likely committed the crime after he went to the apartment by himself.

Witnesses had reported to police that the couple fought and that Gatti was drunk.

Authorities were told the couple was extremely jealous of each other and that Gatti constantly complained about her clothing when she travelled to Brazil, Saraiva said.

Acelino “Popo” Freitas, a four-time world champion Brazilian boxer, told Globo TV’s website on Saturday that he was a close friend of Gatti and his wife and that he “knew they were having some sort of problem and were about to separate”.

They had planned to spend a month in Brazil on holiday.

The couple’s one-year-old son, who was unhurt, was handed to Rodrigues’ sister, Saraiva said.

The 37-year-old Gatti, whose epic trilogy with Micky Ward made him one of the most exciting fighters of his generation, retired in 2007 with a career record of 40-9 and 31 knockouts.

Known for his straightforward punching and granite-like chin, Gatti captured the super featherweight title in 1995, when he defeated Tracy Harris Patterson in Atlantic City. He won the junior welterweight title in 2004.

James “Whitey” Bulger and Stephen “The Rifleman” Flemmi Update

James “Whitey” Bulger and Stephen “The Rifleman” Flemmi Update

(Here is my Facebook, New Twitter and The G Manifesto Facebook Page)

Stephen “The Rifleman” Flemmi testified today that as he spent more time with his beautiful girlfriend, fellow gangster James “Whitey” Bulger grew jealous.

“Bulger kind of resented the fact that I didn’t spend enough time with him,” Flemmi, 75, said during the civil bench trial in US District Court. Flemmi recalled that he began skipping some of Bulger’s secret meetings with the FBI so he could be with Debra Davis.

“He would contact me and I wouldn’t respond,” Flemmi said, noting that he shut off his pager when he got home because “I didn’t want to be bothered … [Bulger] was very upset about it.”

That anger turned deadly when Bulger learned that Flemmi had told Davis about their relationship with the FBI.

“He wanted to kill her,” Flemmi said. “He wanted me to bring her down and set her up so he could kill her.”

Jesse James Hollywood was convicted this afternoon of first-degree murder and kidnapping for ordering the slaying of a San Fernando Valley teenager in 2000.

The Santa Barbara County Superior Court jury was given the case July 1 after a six-week trial and nine years after the kidnapping and murder of 15-year-old Nicholas Markowitz of West Hills. Hollywood was the alleged mastermind behind the slaying.

The crime was the model for the 2007 movie “Alpha Dog.” Defense attorneys argued that the crime’s notoriety tainted the testimony of witnesses and prejudiced the public against their client.

Hollywood could receive the death penalty.

One of Britain’s most notorious criminals, Ronnie Biggs, has been refused parole by Justice Secretary Jack Straw who says the 79-year-old train robber is “wholly unrepentant”.

Straw on Wednesday said Biggs had “outrageously courted the media” during more than three decades on the run after escaping from prison in 1965, where he was serving a 30-year sentence for his role in the 1963 Great Train Robbery.

In a statement, Straw said: “Mr Biggs chose to serve only one year of a 30-year sentence before he took the personal decision to commit another offence and escape from prison, avoiding capture by travelling abroad for 35 years whilst outrageously courting the media.

“Had he complied with his sentence, he would have been a free man many years ago.”

Biggs’ lawyer Giovanni Di Stefano told the BBC the decision was “perverse” and “obscene”, and said his client was in an extremely frail state.

He said: “He is in hospital, he has a nasal gastric feed, he has had three strokes, he can’t walk, he can’t talk… all the other (Great Train Robbers) served a third of their sentences. Why should Mr Biggs be different?”

The Great Train Robbery saw a 15-strong gang hold up a London to Glasgow mail train, making off with 2.6 million pounds in the money of the day.

The gang attacked the train driver with an iron bar. The driver never returned to work and died seven years later without making a full recovery.

Biggs played a minor role in the hold-up but was jailed for 30 years in 1964, but escaped by scaling the wall of the prison and jumping onto the roof of a furniture van.

He eventually fled to Brazil, where he was often pictured in British newspapers enjoying a party, but handed himself over to the British authorities in 2001 and was sent back to jail.

Police Make arrests in Biggest Ever Jewel Heist in France

Police Make arrests in Biggest Ever Jewel Heist in France

Police in France have made 26 arrests and recovered a series of stolen rings, necklaces and watches as part of an investigation into last year’s spectacular multimillion-pound robbery at the luxury Paris jewellers, Harry Winston.

The daring heist last December saw a group of robbers, some dressed as women and wearing wigs, steal almost every piece of jewellery on display in the chic boutique. They stuffed diamond rings, necklaces and luxury watches into bags as well as emptying two backdoor storage cases before getting away within minutes. Items worth about €85m were stolen – the biggest jewellery robbery ever in France, and one of the world’s biggest gem heists.

It emerged last night that investigators had been monitoring suspects in and around Paris in recent months. On Sunday, they learnt that some foreign nationals were due to arrive to collect some of the stolen jewels to sell them on. The police swooped and made arrests on Sunday afternoon and Monday morning.

There are several women among the suspects, who are aged between 22 and 67. Police said 26 people, including a security guard at the jewellery shop and several known gangsters, had been placed under investigation.

They are accused of having taken part in the raid or the preparations for it, or of having helped sell the jewels. Police also recovered weapons, as well as €250,000 in cash.

Originally, members of the Pink ­Panthers gang that operates out of the Balkans, and which has been involved in other high-profile jewel thefts, were suspects, but they appear to have been ruled out, according to police.

The robbery, carried out in daylight a few weeks before Christmas, had led police to suspect experienced professionals and “real pros”. The gang appeared to have a detailed knowledge of the boutique’s lay-out, knew the location of supposedly top-secret storage boxes, and referred to staff by their first names.

The American jewellery boutique on Paris’s chic Avenue Montaigne has been the target of previous heists. In October 2007, armed robbers made off with jewels worth more than €10m.

The late actor Richard Burton bought jewels from the store for his wife Elizabeth Taylor; the late shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis also bought an engagement ring there for the former US first lady Jacqueline Kennedy.
