FROM BRASÍLIA
Brazilian president, Michel Temer, gave up the trip to southeastern Asia he had scheduled for next week.
This is the second time he cancels the trip - he had cancelled the first trip following medical recommendations. His decision now coincides with the request made by the Federal Police to continue with investigations against him over the decree that benefitted a port company.
Also, the testimony of Temer's daughter, Maristela Temer, was scheduled for next week. The material used to renovate Maristela's house was paid for by Maria Rita Fratezi, the wife of Colonel João Baptista de Lima Filho.
. . .
The Federal Police investigators' main suspicion is that President Temer laundered bribery money in the payment of the renovation of his relatives' houses and hid real estate transactions in the name of third parties.
