MORE recordings have emerged of Brazilian coup regime figures plotting to hush up a huge corruption scandal.
Two senior members of interim President Michel Temer’s Brazilian Democratic Movement Party (PMDB) were caught on tape discussing how to stymie probes into the multimillion-pound bribery scandal at state oil firm Petrobras.
The transcripts were published in newspaper Folha de Sao Paulo on Wednesday, less than two weeks after vice-president Mr Temer took power following the right-wing impeachment of his erstwhile ally Dilma Rousseff.
In the first recording, Senate Speaker Renan Calheiros is heard in conversation with ex-senator Sergio Machado, former head of another state oil company Transpetro, proposing legal changes to bar the use of plea bargain testimony.
