Sao Paulo - Arab Today

Brazilian police Thursday arrested Guido Mantega, a former finance minister under presidents Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and Dilma Rousseff, as part of the investigation into the vast Petrobras corruption scheme, media reported.
Mantega, who was an important figure in the leftist Workers’ Party, was arrested at a Sao Paulo hospital where his wife had undergone surgery, his lawyer Jose Roberto Batochio told the G1 online news outlet. The arrest also was reported by Folha group’s UOL site.
In a statement, the federal police said its officers were carrying a new wave of arrest orders in the sprawling bribe and kickback scandal involving state oil giant Petrobras, contractors and politicians.
Without naming Mantega, the police said “a finance minister allegedly acted in 2012 together with one of the companies to negotiate the transfer of resources to pay the campaign debts of the political party of the moment.”
News of Mantega’s arrest came just two days after a judge leading part of the investigation into the scandal accepted charges against Lula for allegedly accepting bribes from a construction company linked to the Petrobras case.
