Brazil: Temer Brings In His Chum To Oversee Graft Investigations
MAY 2017 Wednesday 31ST
posted by Morning Star in World
THE trade union representing Brazil’s federal police investigators expressed concerns on Monday about how probes into government corruption will be handled by new Justice Minister Torquato Jardim.
Mr Jardim, a personal friend of President Michel Temer, is responsible for overseeing investigators and other members of the federal police department.
He has previously criticised the “Car Wash” corruption probe that has now spread to include alleged bribes by a construction company of politicians across Latin America.
He was appointed on Sunday by the coup-installed president, who is himself under investigation for alleged obstruction of justice and corruption.
