" "The president is unaware of the content of the conveyed facts and not will weave comments without access to the actual content of what is being disclosed. Once you have science, through its lawyers, the president shall be revealed," says the text released by his press office press. "The president remains absolutely quiet, performing their work with the same smoothness and independence, her trust in the neutrality and impartiality of the Supreme Court," he adds. The same note "reiterates the content of their testimony to the Petrobras CPI spontaneously". At the time, Cunha denied having "any account anywhere other than the account that is stated on my income tax".
The Federal Public Ministry confirmed on Wednesday that Cunha is investigated in Switzerland. Swiss investigating authorities found secret cons of the PMDB and family in the European country. Frozen were about $ 5 million in four bank accounts. Internal audit of the bank that holds these values - whose name was not disclosed - was responsible for the report which led to the investigation Cunha for money laundering and bribery.
Yesterday, the mayor canceled trip that would make Italy but ignored questions from MEPs about the case. "President Eduardo Cunha has or not secret accounts in Switzerland?"
