Brasilia_ The denunciation for passive corruption that President Michel Temer is facing continues unchanged, awaiting the end of his term of office Attorney General Rodrigo Janot asserted in statements published today, according to Prensa Latina .

After not authorizing that the Federal Supreme Court (TSF) tried the the accusation, the Chamber of deputies did not leave it ineffective, but carried out a convenient political trial and believed that it was not timely to continue the trial, but 'the denunciation remains unchanged,' he explained.

Janot also confirmed that the investigation into obstruction of the course of justice and criminal association in which Temer is involved are close to their end.

Janot accused Temer of passive corruption, as a result of the denunciation of the JBS meat processing plant, Joesley Batista, who recorded in March an incriminating conversation with the president at the official residence of the Brazilian vice president, the Palacio do Jaburu.

In the audio file, Temer supported the payment of bribes to buy the silence of the president of the Chamber of Deputies and one of those behind the impeachment against Eduardo Cunha, who is servinf a sentence of more than 15 years in prison for corruption, money laundering and tax evasion.

Besides, he told his special advisor and federal ex-deputy Rodrigo Rocha as intermediary to solve the requirements of the company JBS, in exchanged for which the agency would pay a half-million-real weekly 'tip' for 25 years that would supposedly benefit the occupant of the Palacio do Planalto.

Rocha was filmed by the Federal Police while receiving and then running fast, carrying a black suitcase with money, as the first payment by JBS.

However, for the majority of the legislators, none of those elements were enough to, answering to the interest expressed by 93 percent of the population, which was expecting that Temer was tried by the Supreme Court, which would clarify the facts.
