A manager of a company owned by a friend of Temer tried to open accounts for R$ 20 million.
In October 2018, manager Antonio Carlos Correia da Silva attempted to deposit the sum, trying to open two corporate accounts at a bank; he was allegedly acting as a "front man" for Colonel Lima, a personal friend accused of corruption alongside Temer.
247 - A financial manager at Argeplan, a company owned by Colonel Lima, a friend of former president Michel Temer (MDB), attempted to move R$ 20 million days after the Federal Police (PF) requested the opening of an investigation against Temer (MDB) regarding the payment of bribes related to the construction of the Angra 3 nuclear power plant. Temer and Lima deny any involvement.
The information was added yesterday by the Federal Prosecutor's Office task force in Operation Lava Jato to the case in which Temer and Lima were the targets of preventive arrest warrants in March, but were released days later.
In October 2018, manager Antonio Carlos Correia da Silva attempted to deposit the sum, trying to open two corporate accounts at a bank. He was allegedly Lima's "front man."
"The evidence of irregularities in the attempted financial transaction is even more serious, insofar as everything indicates that the intention was to transfer funds from one legal entity to the accounts of two other legal entities and one individual," the Federal Public Prosecutor's Office said in a document submitted to Judge Marcelo Bretas.
