Brazils temer says naive but not guilty #
You're referring to the corruption scandal involving former Brazilian President Michel Temer.
In August 2017, Temer was accused of corruption and obstruction of justice by Brazil's Attorney General, Rodrigo Janot. The allegations centered around a recording that appeared to show Temer discussing bribes with a businessman.
In response to the allegations, Temer denied any wrongdoing and claimed that the recording was manipulated. He also accused the Attorney General of political persecution.
In September 2017, Temer was charged with corruption and obstruction of justice by the Brazilian Supreme Court. However, in June 2018, the court acquitted him of all charges, citing lack of evidence.
The acquittal was met with widespread criticism, with many arguing that the court's decision was influenced by political factors. Temer's supporters claimed that the charges against him were baseless and that he was the victim of a political witch hunt.
In his defense, Temer's lawyers argued that the recording was tampered with and that the prosecution had failed to present sufficient evidence to prove his guilt. They also claimed that the charges against him were motivated by political bias and a desire to discredit him.
The controversy surrounding Temer's acquittal has had significant political implications in Brazil, with many calling for greater transparency and accountability in the country's political system.
