BRASILIA: Brazil's infrastructure investment secretary Wellington Moreira Franco, a top aide to President Michel Temer, has drafted his resignation letter and is preparing to leave the government, a source close to the official told Reuters Wednesday.
Moreira Franco, a longtime top figure in Temer's Brazilian Democratic Movement Party and a former governor of Rio de Janeiro state, has been cited in testimony in Brazil's biggest corruption investigation as having received illegal campaign funds.
A source close to Moreira Franco says he is offering his resignation to lessen fallout for Temer's scandal-plagued government.
