Brazil´s supreme court is lauching a formal investigation into corruption allegations against sports minister Orlando Silva. He has been accused of helping embezzle millions of dollars in public funds.
The main source of the allegations is a military police officer, Joao Dias Ferreira, who says Orlando Silva personally received bundles of cash in the garage of the ministry.
Mr. Silva is the fifth minister to face corruption allegations since President Dilma Rousseff took office in January. The ministers of agriculture, tourism, transport and the chief of staff have been forced from the office after being accused of corruption.
