SAO PAULO/RIO DE JANEIRO - Brazil’s former President Michel Temer was arrested on Thursday in an investigation of alleged graft in the construction of a nuclear power plant, prosecutors said, threatening to delay debate over the government’s ambitious fiscal reforms.
Brazil’s currency slipped 1.4 percent and the Bovespa stock index fell 2.5 percent, as the arrest diverted the attention of Congress just as it was taking up a bill to overhaul the social security system. Brazil’s sweeping “Car Wash” probe has uncovered what U.S. prosecutors called the world’s largest graft scheme, starting with political bribery involving oil company Petroleo Brasileiro SA and spreading to other sectors and public works.

So it looks like Lula for sure and Temer quite possibly / allegedly and you know what ? I think it’s entirely likely. The politics are irrelevant if convicted he should share a cell with Lula.
Reuters should be looking at the EU mafia club.
