巴西旅遊部長涉嫌腐敗辭職 據稱在瑞士有祕密賬戶

Brazilian prosecutors have made a formAl allegation of tax evasion and money laundering against former tourism minister Henrique Alves.

巴西檢察官日前正式指控前旅遊部長恩裏克·阿爾維斯犯有逃稅和洗錢罪。

Brazil's Attorney General Rodrigo Janot presented evidence to the Supreme Court saying that Mr Alves had a secret bank account in Switzerland.

巴西司法部長羅德里格·加諾向最高法院提供證據，稱阿爾維斯在瑞士有一個祕密銀行賬戶。

Mr Alves resigned last Thursday after being linked to a corruption scheme. He became the third cabinet minister to stand down since interim President Michel Temer came to power last month.

就在上週四，阿爾維斯因被指控與一項腐敗計劃有關後辭職。他是自臨時總統米歇爾·特梅爾執政後第三位下臺的內閣部長。

All are implicated in a major corruption scandal at the state oil company, Petrobras. Mr Alves denied the allegations.

這些高官都牽扯進了一起有關巴西國家石油公司Petrobras的重大腐敗醜聞，但是阿爾維斯否認了這次指控。

The allegations come from Sergio Machado, the former chief executive of Petrobras subsidiary Transpetro.

這一指控是來自Petrobras分公司Transpetro的前任首席執行官塞吉奧·馬查多。

He said that both Mr Temer and Mr Alves asked him for money for electoral campaigning and knew it would come from an illegal kickbacks scheme that diverted billions of dollars from the national oil company.

他表示，特梅爾和阿爾維斯都爲了競選活動而向他要錢，並且他們知道這些錢是來自於非法的回扣計劃，即從國家石油公司挪用數十億美元。

And Alves said on social media that contributions to his campaigns had been made through official channels and declared to election authorities. He said that he was resigning in order "to avoid embarrassing" the government.

隨後，阿爾維斯在社交媒體上表示，用於選舉的錢都是來自於官方的正規渠道，並且已經向選舉當局上報。此外，他聲稱自己辭職的原因是爲了避免給政府抹黑。
