Rio - The occupation of the building Hilton Santos, at Avenida Rui Barbosa, one of the noblest areas of the Flamengo neighborhood, for a hundred people, was predicted by neighboring residents. In December last year, The Day published a report warning of the risks of invasion. The property, at Avenida Rui Barbosa, was invaded on Tuesday at dawn by a group linked to the Movement of Homeless Workers (MTST).
Former headquarters of Flamengo Club, is leased by REX company, owned by Eike Batista, who wanted to adapt the property to there house a four star hotel. With the crisis in Eike conglomerate, the works never happened.
According to leaders of the group, which was encamped at some points Cinelandia, attackers would be from other two occupations: a Cedae property on Via Binary, and another of Telerj in Engenho Novo.
In the afternoon, two cars of the 2nd BPM (Botafogo) were the security of property entry of 25 floors and 454 rooms. The police prevented the entry of more people, water and food. The strategy is forcing families to leave the building, which totally plundered three years ago, has no electricity and no clean water.

"We are already going hungry and thirsty, but we will resist. We just want to have a decent place to live, "said Alexandre Silva, 37. According to him, among the invaders, who broke locks to enter, half are women, six of them pregnant.
The advice of the Flemish reported that "the direction the club is aware of the events", but claimed that it is for the REX request repossession to justice. The same argument was used by the city. In the morning, two representatives of Eike Batista's company tried to negotiate the departure of the homeless. The advice of the EBX did not return phone calls or e-mail sent to the time of writing.
The crisis in their companies Eike forced to rethink investments for the renovation of the building, of R $ 100 million. The property was rented in 2012. Abandoned, the building passed in 2014 at the request of the Association of Widow's Hill Condos (AMOV) for surveys of Health Surveillance. Rats nests were found, African snails, and waste.
Alert done in December
Tuesday, through a statement, the president of the Condominium Association Widow's Hill, Maria Thereza Shadow, recalled that "for months", the authorities, the Flemish and the EBX Group were advised of the risk. She met with two representatives of the EBX, Gunnar Pimentel and Fabio Melensek. "We talked about insecurity and unhealthiness of the place. Both promised to take action and said they would ask the property reintegration," said the president of the neighborhood association.
Residents of nearby buildings, at Av. Oswaldo Cruz, said they were "outraged". "It is a total neglect of the authorities. Will depreciate our property, "blurted the doctor Luizmar Santiago, 57, who lives 40 years ago in the locality.
Flemish leader already feared for invasion of building
Also at the end of last year, the vice president of equity Flamengo, Wallim Vasconcellos, was succinct about the responsibility of management of the Widow's Hill. "All responsibility is the EBX. We are continually talking to them to find a solution, but have told us that there is no way. In the neighborhood, which may suffer from diseases, there is the danger of the building being invaded," reported Vasconcelos.
On the last day March 26, about 300 families left peacefully the ground Cedae. Most people who occupied the site is from the invasions to the old building of the Dock Company, nicknamed District 13; and the old building from the Telephone Company Hi, in Alligator in the North Zone. The first was demolished and the second invaded by PM, both in February and April 2014, respectively.
A business confidential
Under the agreement made with EBX in 2012, Flamengo initially receive R $ 17.6 million and, with the operation of the hotel, would have 2.63% of gross revenues, with a guaranteed monthly minimum of $ 270,000. But the transactions have always been very sensitive. Flamengo does not reveal details.
In 2013, came to report that the EBX Group had broken the lease but the company would have paid £ 18 million to the club, in two installments. At the time, the former president Patricia Amorim would have used half the money to put players wages on time.
Another venture with Eike stuck works is the former Hotel Gloria, acquired in 2008 at a cost of £ 80 million. Reform since 2010, the hotel, renamed the Glory Palace, had the facade taken by graffiti, the reigning aspect of abandonment. Eike sold to Swiss group Acron for about £ 260 million, but the businessman signed a separate agreement to participate in the development of the enterprise.
