Brazil’s New ‘Transparency’ Chief Falls In His Own Scandal
Brazil's Transparency Minister Fabiano Silveira resigned Monday after leaked recordings suggested he tried to derail a sprawling corruption probe, the latest Cabinet casualty to hit interim President Michel Temer's new administration.
Silveira, the man Temer tasked with fighting corruption since he took office on May 12, announced his plans to step down in a letter, according to the presidential palace's media office. No replacement for Silveira has yet been named.
