As details about the jihadists have emerged, May has faced questions about her record of overseeing cuts to police numbers when she was interior minister. BRASILIA, (Reuters) - Judges on Brazil’s top electoral court will start deciding today whether President Michel Temer received illegal campaign funding in 2014, which could lead to his removal from office.
Temer’s opponents see a ruling by the court, called TSE, as a way out of the political crisis set off by corruption allegations leveled against the center-right leader, but a decision could take weeks if not months and can be appealed by Temer.
The case was postponed in April to allow for new evidence arising from Brazil’s biggest ever corruption scandal involving billions of dollars in kickbacks paid by companies to scores of politicians and government officials.
The court’s decision is key to deciding the political future of Brazil where the prospect of having a second president ousted in one year has generated uncertainty and weakened the Brazilian currency, stocks and bonds in recent days.
Temer, who was the running mate of leftist President Dilma Rousseff and replaced her when she was impeached last year, has said his campaign accounts received no illegal money.
If Temer is removed from office, lower house Speaker Rodrigo Maia would take over and Congress would have 30 days to pick a caretaker to lead the country until elections in late 2018.
If Temer is found guilty, he is expected to appeal, which could delay the process for months.
The main ally in Temer’s governing coalition, the Brazilian Social Democracy Party (PSDB), is waiting for the court ruling to decide whether to abandon Temer’s government, which would sink his fiscal reform agenda.
