Stand back...Cd. Juarez and Monterrey, Mexico.
There's a new Latin America crime and murder challenger...Sao Paulo.
Crime there...is surging.
622 murders in just the first 6 months...21% over 2011.
And...armed robberies are up 8%...by the rate of 319 per day!
Officials are blaming it on a 'slowdown' in business.
The recent murder of a young Italian banker has shaken the business community.
