Brazil prosecutor wants arrest of Senate boss, ex-president
BRASILIA: Brazil’s corruption-fueled political crisis was on the verge of new escalation on Tuesday, as authorities are reportedly seeking the arrest of senior figures in the push to impeach suspended president Dilma Rousseff.
If reports in the main Brazilian newspapers are confirmed, new doubts would be cast over the impeachment of Rousseff, pushing Latin America’s biggest eco**my into ever greater turmoil with less than two months to go before Rio de Janeiro hosts the Summer Olympics. Prosecutor General Rodrigo Ja**t has asked the Supreme Court to authorise the arrests of Senate President Renan Calheiros, former Brazilian president Jose Sarney, Senator Romero Juca and powerful lawmaker Eduardo Cunha, O Globo newspaper reported. The report, which did **t name its sources, was matched by two other newspapers shortly after. However, officials at the prosecutor’s ****** and Supreme Court refused to confirm the information to AFP. The four are accused of participating in a huge embezzlement and bribery network based on state oil company Petrobras. According to the reports, Ja**t **w accuses them of trying to obstruct the probe into the scheme, k**wn as Operation Car Wash. The alleged evidence against them came from secret recordings of conversations made by a former oil executive, Sergio Machado, who is cooperating with Car Wash prosecutors in a plea bargain. If confirmed, the scandal would be a huge blow against interim president Michel Temer, who took the reins after the suspension of Rousseff last month for her impeachment trial. All four in the prosecutor general’s crosshairs are from Temer’s PMDB party, which has been crucial to pushing impeachment through Congress. أكثر... ??????? ??????: Brazil prosecutor wants arrest of Senate boss, ex-president || ??????: ahlam1399 || ??????: اسم منتداك
