EspañolBrazil’s Minister of Transparency resigned after it was revealed on an audio recording that he had criticized the Petrobas corruption investigations, for which he was also advising a politician being investigated in the same case.

Fabiano Silveira is the second member of Michel Temer’s interim administration to leaves office in just its 18 days of existence, due to the diffusion of recorded conversations about bribery and the state oil company Petrobas.

In a recording broadcast by TV Globo on Sunday, Silveira can be heard giving legal advise to the President of the Brazilian Senate, who is under investigation in connection with Petrobras’ corruption network.

The official submitted his resignation in a letter, saying that nothing “has affected his behavior.”

Earlier, the ministry employees prevented Silveira from entering the building and staged a protest that covered the front door of the building and his office.

Interim President Michel Temer has not yet announced Silveira’s replacement.
