“None of the ministers involved have faced court actions and congressional investigations have been stalled.”
They are being allowed to step down and 'get away with their criminal activities. I say hound them into the common cells of the state prisons that would put a sharp brake on corruption in high places.

Avaaz worldwide , The Brazilian Catholic Church, and the Brazilian Bar, Citizens Action Groups, (peaceful) city protests on the streets - there is a message going out that the fat cats need to heed.

I reiterate, and quote: “We can’t continue living next to corruption; the country no longer stands such a situation, the Supreme Tribunal must take a decision and rule constitutional the Clean Record bill”
