RIO DE JANEIRO - A Brazilian judge on Monday ordered the immediate release of ex-president Michel Temer, days after the former leader was detained on allegations of being the leader of a"criminal organisation."
Athie extended the release order to former mines and energy minister Moreira Franco, who was also arrested along with several other people."I want to see our country free from the corruption that plagues it. However, without consitutional guarantees, guaranteed to all ... there is no legitimacy in the fight against this plague."
Investigations suggest the group may have committed"various crimes" with public agencies and state-owned companies involving nearly half a billion dollars, the statement said.
