Bahia 247 - The PMDB national directorate officially announced a short while ago the removal of former minister Geddel Vieira Lima for 60 days starting today. He has been in jail in Brasília since Friday (9), after the Federal Police found R$ 51 million in an apartment lent to the Bahian in Salvador.
Geddel requested a leave of absence from his duties as first secretary of the party's national leadership, and has already been removed from the presidency of the PMDB in Bahia for two months, since his first arrest.
Geddel's leave of absence was arranged with party leaders in an attempt to isolate the crisis triggered by the former minister's arrest and mitigate the negative impact on President Michel Temer from the episode.
