Former president of Brazil, Michel Temer, is arrested

The Operation Lava Jato of the Federal Police arrested today the ex-president Michel Temer and the ex-minister Moreira Franco. Both are accused of involvement in corruption schemes. In an interview with the journalist Kennedy Alencar, Temer classified his prison as "a barbarity."

The arrest was based on the donation of José Antunes Sobrinho, owner of Engevix. The businessman told the Federal Police that he paid R $ 1 million in tips at the request of Colonel João Baptista Lima Filho, who would have received the bribes for the political group of former president Michel Temer.

Engevix was one of the construction companies responsible for the construction of the Angra 3 atomic power plant, located on Itaorna beach, in Angra dos Reis, Rio de Janeiro.
