Brazil plea bargain says interim President Temer sought illegal campaign funds
Brazil's interim President Michel Temer sought campaign contributions stemming from a graft scheme at state oil company Petrobras for his party's 2012 mayoral candidate in Sao Paulo, according to a plea bargain deal by a former Petrobras executive.
The plea deal by Sergio Machado, made public on Wednesday, said the campaign contribution from building firm Queiroz Galvao was made legally but was the result of a political kickback from contracts handed out by Petrobras.
