Is it just me or is the sentence missing the second verb..."obtaining"?

[Paulenrique]

?.. failed in obtaining = falhou em obter / didnt get = não consegui... well... sometimes they demand literal translations. Next time they run away from it... :S

i agree, as it's written, i see it as "the federal agent was not able the necessary information" obviously not right...

[binhlewater23]

"as informações necessárias" is not plural? why is it translated as "the required information"?

[Paulenrique]

"information" in English hardly ever has its form in plural, just in few contexts, but in Portuguese it has plural most of he time, unless it is required a specific information.
