Local woman accused of theft by tourist in Bahia

In Bahia, Brazil, a tourist accused a local woman, who poses for photos with visitors in traditional clothing, of theft on March 28. The tourist said her wallet was missing after taking photos with the woman. The local woman, Jucione Costa Silva, removed her clothes in a store to prove she did not steal the wallet. She says she experienced racism and has been unable to work since the incident. Police filed a report against the 53-year-old tourist for slander after the wallet was found in a shop the tourist had previously visited. Silva says the couple offered her money to drop the issue.
