Brazil foreign minister quits over Bolivia senator row
---
Mr Saboia said Mr Pinto had been suffering from depression and he had taken a personal decision to help him.
The senator had been living in a small room in the Brazilian embassy for the past 450 days.
After the escape was revealed, Bolivia accused Brazil of violating international agreements and demanded an explanation.
According to Brazilian media, President Rousseff's government did not know of the operation and considered it a "disaster".
