A close adviser and friend of the Brazilian president Michel Temer was arrested in connection with the investigation for corruption that targets the head of state.

In Brazil, a close adviser to the president was incarcerated. The position of Rodrigo Rocha Loures, accused of corruption is nicknamed "the man with the suitcase" because he had been filmed receiving a bag of tickets. With his incarceration, the position of President Michel Temer, very unpopular and suspected of corruption, has become increasingly fragile.
