Scandal Petrobras produces another

In Brazil, Petrobras scandal strikes again: yesterday evening, the Brazilian Minister of Transparency, Fabiano Silveira, resigned after an interception by leaked his critical investigation on the oil giant.

It is the second part of the interim government to fall for Petrobras scandal. On 23 May, the Minister of Planning, Romero Juca, resigned from the government after an interception in which he argued that it would take a "pact" to force President Dilma Rousseff to step down to stop the investigations.

In the recording, released by the broadcaster Globo, Silveira provides legal advice to the President of the Senate, Renan Calheiros, involved in the affair.

It was the latest blow to the government of interim President Michel Temer, which would have as its objective to fight against rampant corruption that Dilma Rousseff paid with the resignation.
