Doubts cast over new justice minister
The union representing Brazil’s federal police investigators expressed concerns Monday about how probes into government corruption will be handled by the newly named justice minister, who is a personal friend of President Michel Temer. Torquato Jardim, who will oversee the investigators and other members of the federal police, has criticized the “Car Wash” corruption probe that has now spread to include alleged bribes by a construction company of politicians around Latin America.
