BRAZIL: Opposition seeks Petrobras inquiry
The opposition is seeking support to launch a parliamentary
investigation into supposed cases of embezzlement in Brazil's state-controlled
energy company, Petrobras. The move comes as the long-running parliamentary
inquiry into illegal wiretapping ended without concrete results. The opposition
accused the government of manoeuvring its allies to save supposed
“collaborators". Meanwhile, the senate remains paralysed by new corruption
allegations.
