Brazil Police Report Accuses Temer of Obstruction of Justice

Brazil’s federal police accused President Michel Temer of obstruction of justice in their final report to the Supreme Court ahead of expected corruption charges to be filed against the president by the chief prosecutor.

Monday’s report follows a similar document sent by police to the court last week, which accused Temer of corruption in a case based on a secret recording between the president and Joesley Batista, the former CEO of meat-packing giant JBS. "The president’s defense will prove there was no crime," a spokesman for Temer said via text message in response to the statement.
