    Brazilian prosecution asks for investigation of opposition leader Senator Neves

    Prosecutor-General Janot had stopped the investigation of Neves last year but is now asking to reopen it based on plea bargain testimony from another senator

    Brazil’s top prosecutor asked the Supreme Court to open an investigation into opposition Senator Aécio Neves, the country’s leading opposition figure, as the vast Petrobras corruption probe engulfed more politicians. Neves, who narrowly lost the 2014 presidential election to Dilma Rousseff, was previously included in a list of some 50 politicians thought to have taken bribes originating from state-run companies.
