The famous French actress Bardo reached Brazil, known as the world’s most beautiful woman. Since she was from France, the hotel manager ordered a special dish from her country to make her happy, but she got stuck in the airport custom.
At that time Brazil’s custom rules were very strict. There was a tough ban on the import of food items. There was paperwork to free the goods, which took time. In such a situation, there was a danger of food. For this, the manager of the hotel took another route.
The manager befriended the custom officers, gave them cigars and gifts of alcohol, after which the food was released from the custom. This story became so famous at that time that the media called it ‘Jethinho Bridget Bardo’.
In this Brazil, the 17th summit of BRICS is currently being held. The customs like Jethinho (Brazili Jugaad), Bezio (Kiss) are also very popular in Brazil, known for football, samba and carnival. In the story, we will learn about all these…
The film and God Creed Woman, released in 1956, made Bridget Bardo an overnight superstar at the age of 20.
‘Jethinho Brasiliro’ means Brazilian Jugaad
If seen, ‘Jethinho Brasiliro’ is another way of bribery in a way. There are laws regarding bribery in countries around the world and there is also a jail sentence for this. Bribe is also a crime in Brazil, but Jethinho is not considered immoral here.
If someone’s work is stuck in Brazil, then they are told- ‘Jethinho Brasiliro’ means Brazili Jugaad. Every possible way is tried to solve the difficulties in Jethinho Brasiliro.
How to easily do hard work
The trend of Jethinho in Brazil began in the colonial round (16th century). The Portuguese, after capturing Brazil, implemented their rules and regulations there. These laws were adopted from Europe and were making it difficult for the people of Brazil.
In such a situation, people developed the skills to make a better relationship with the authorities, to work out of small bribe. In the 20th century, this culture became so strong that in every government or non-governmental process, people started searching for the loophole of rules. In the nineties, Livia Barbosa explained this in his book ‘O Jethinho Brasiliro’.
How different is it from bribery
Think of it in such a way that you have to book tables in a famous restaurant in Brazil, but it has already been full several days ago. In such a situation, you contact the manager of the restaurant through a friend and send it as a special imported wine gift for the manager.
After this gift, the manager searched the ‘beach path’ and canceled the booking of a VIP customer, which gave the customer a place. This is geitinho. However, it is not necessary that you need to give gifts in Jethinho.
Suppose you are in line in the government office and your number is 10th, but you have a good friendship with the peon there. In such a situation, he calls you inside. You did not break any law, nor bribed, only took advantage of the relationship. This is called Geetinho.
However, sometimes people cross the fine line between Jethinho (Jugaad) and Bribesy (bribe). People gift expensive gifts to get their work out. Operation Lava Jato means ‘Car Wash Operation’, Brazil’s largest and historical corruption scam, shook the entire Brazilian political and business system.
Operation Lava Jato was the biggest scam in the history of Brazil. It started in 2014.
Lula de Silva caught in Lava Jato, 12 years jailed In 2014, the Brazilian federal police started an investigation when clues of money laundering were found in a Curatiba city car wash (Lava Jato). It was from here that it was named ‘Lava Jato Operation’. The root of the scam was in Brazilian national oil company Petrabras.
Many large construction companies gave huge bribe to Petrabras officials, so that they get expensive contracts. These bribes also went to politicians and parties, so that their interests could be done in the government and Parliament.
It is estimated that the amount of bribe and scam was more than US $ 2 billion. In many projects of Petrabras, the cost was doubled, so that brokers, company and leaders take all stakes. Many top business tycoon stuck in it. For example, Marsello Odibrekht, CEO of Odibrekh company, was jailed.
Former Brazilian President Lula Dr. Silva was also accused of taking bribe from companies involved in the Petrabras scam. It was alleged that a construction company named OAs got Lula a luxury apartment and renovated him. In return, OAs get a beneficial contract from Petrabras.
Lula Dr. Silva was imprisoned for 12 years. Although he was later released by the Supreme Court, by then he had spent 19 months in jail.

Lava Jato Scandal became popular all over the world. Hundreds of people went to jail and billions of dollars were recovered. Lava Jato revelations were not limited to Brazil. In this, the Odibracht company confessed to bribing leaders in many countries of Latin America, Africa and Europe. The effect of this was that demonstrations took place in many countries including Peru, Venezuela, Ecuador, Angola.
1-2-3 kiss custom in Brazil
When the Portuguese captured Brazil, they also brought their customs. One of these customs was Bejio, that is, the custom of kissing on the cheeks. There was a trend of adopting fashion of European Elite in the rich class and royal houses of Brazil, which spread this custom.
The problem was that it started happening in different states in different ways. For example, in Sao Polo, there is a light trend on the cheek. In Rio de Janeiro, who is in practice on both cheeks.
At the same time, three kisses are treated in the southern areas of Brazil such as Minus Gares. In turn, right-bay-dahina or left-aahina-bayan. Men usually do not kiss each other. This custom is prevalent among men-women or women.
