A mother and daughter who lived in a McDonald's for three months have been evicted from an apartment a Good Samaritan let them use after they refused to move out.
Susana Muratori, 66, and her 32-year-old daughter Bruna hit the headlines as the world's most middle-class squatters when their bizarre lifestyle in Brazil emerged.
The pair, clad in designer gear and with their belongings packed into smart luggage, spent 18 hours a day in the branch in Rio de Janeiro's upmarket shopping district Leblon.

Despite their difficult lives, the pair are reported to always be clean, well-dressed and do their make up every day.
Beside them were at least five large designer Mandarina Duck suitcases which reportedly contained tennis rackets, clothes, and books as well as shoes and other accessories.
When the fast food outlet closed at 5am for cleaning the pair would sleep outside the front door until it opened again five hours later.
Susana and Bruna, who local media reports say has a British father, would wash in the eaterie's loos and a dine on burgers while charging their smartphones.

They were only forced to move after seven months when other customers complained they had been using racist language.
After being moved to a hostel, they were kicked out for refusing to pay the nominal rent.
Then, after a well-wisher let them share his apartment for a few days, they again refused to move out.

The pair were eventually evicted on 15th April and were seen taking a taxi heading towards the city's Copacabana beach.
In a podcast interview last year (2024), Bruna told how she used to be a teacher.
She said: "I was a private English teacher. I graduated very early in high school, I was 16 years old.
"And the only thing I could do was speak English.
"When we came to Rio, I kept teaching privately until the COVID pandemic hit."

The mother and daughter once told how they were baffled that their life as designer middle-class down and outs drew so much attention.
Mum Susane said: "I find everything ridiculous, I can't understand how this snowball effect happened."
And Bruna added: "If it were a person with darker skin, with few clothes, with few suitcases, it wouldn't have attracted attention.
"I think the fascination is that we look like the people that are reading about us, they see that actually, this could be them as well.

"I did not want to have myself put in the spotlight this way, I didn't want fame or visibility for being homeless.
"Nobody wants to live on the street, and I miss sleeping in a bed.
"But this problem is for me and my mother, and a system that conspires against you when you don't have lots of money in the housing market."
