Shocking new details emerge about alleged intentions of suspect in Lady Gaga's concert bombing plot

Brazil authorities have revealed a third person has been charged over alleged plans to conduct a 'ritual' at Lady Gaga's concert.

On May 3, Lady Gaga - real name Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta - put on her biggest show ever, performing a two-hour concert at Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

The 39-year-old put on the event for free as part of her global tour to promote her album titled Mayhem - with an estimated 2.1 million people in attendance.

However, the following day, the Civil Police of Rio de Janeiro revealed it had prevented a 'bomb attack' from taking place at the event.

In an operation dubbed 'Fake Monster', authorities said it had apprehended two people in connection with the alleged planned attack - one person arrested for illegal possession of a firearm and a teenager detained for possession of child pornography.

Working in coordination with the country's justice ministry, the force said: "The suspects were recruiting participants, including minors, to carry out coordinated attacks using improvised explosives and Molotov cocktails."

Brazil police reportedly carried out searches on nine addresses across the country after obtaining 15 search and seizure warrants, their searches leading them to discover a third person who allegedly wished harm upon those at Lady Gaga's concert, as reported by CNN.

The suspect allegedly planned to carry out a 'satanist ritual by killing a child or a baby'.

Police officer Maria Luiza Machado said the suspect allegedly claimed Gaga was a satanist and he wanted to 'respond in the same way'.

According to authorities, he has since been charged with inducing crime and terrorism.

Lady Gaga issued a statement about the alleged plans of attack.

A spokesperson for the singer said in a statement to the Hollywood Reporter: "We learned about this alleged threat via media reports this morning.

"Prior to and during the show, there were no known safety concerns, nor any communication from the police or authorities to Lady Gaga regarding any potential risks. Her team worked closely with law enforcement throughout the planning and execution of the concert and all parties were confident in the safety measures in place."

In a post to Instagram, Lady Gaga didn’t address the alleged terrorism plot, instead choosing to thank all of her fans for their support.

She said: "Nothing could prepare me for the feeling I had during last night’s show - the absolute pride and joy I felt singing for the people of Brazil. The sight of the crowd during my opening songs took my breath away.

"Your heart shines so bright, your culture is so vibrant and special, I hope you know how grateful I am to have shared this historical moment with you. An estimated 2.5 million people came to see me sing, the biggest crowd for any woman in history. I wish I could share this feeling with the whole world...

"Thank you Rio for waiting for me to come back. Thank you little monsters all over the world. I love you. I will never forget this moment. Paws up little monsters. Obrigada. Love, Mother Monster."
