Wealthy Brazilians Sign Treaty To End Family Feud
In Pernambuco, two titled Brazilian families, the Alencars and the Sampaio, signed a peace pact in the presence of an army officer to end a 23 year feud that stirred violence and claimed several lives. The feud began after a 1949 murder in Iexa and escalated with retaliations and hired gunmen over decades. The army intervened after failed pacification efforts by police and a TV personality. The agreement followed multiple killings and police actions as political turmoil affected the region.
