Some examples of questionable costs that government auditors found in the building of Brasilia's stadium for the World Cup:
-Auditors allege that nearly one-third of the $900 million in costs for the stadium are fraudulent.
-The tab for transportation of prefabricated grandstands in Brasilia was supposed to be just $4,700, but the construction consortium billed the government $1.5 million.
-$16 million was lost when Brasilia's city government inexplicably failed to enforce a fine against the consortium building the stadium despite a five-month delay in completion of the main portion of the arena.
