Justice orders former President of Brazil Michel Temer to return to prison

The Brazilian Justice today decided by two votes to one, that former President Michel Temer and Colonel João Baptista Lima Filho return to prison. The decision to revoke habeas corpus was judged by three judges of the Federal Regional Court of the 2nd Region. By 2 votes to 1, the court revoked the habeas corpus granted to Temer and João Baptista.

Temer had previously been arrested on March 21, 2019. He is accused of leading a criminal organization that received R$ 1 million corruption money over the construction contract for the Angra 3 nuclear power plant.

The former Brazilian president also responds for crimes of corruption, embezzlement and money laundering in the Lava Jato lawsuit that runs in Rio de Janeiro under the command of Judge Marcelo Bretas
