Brazil’s attorney general argued on Sunday for the removal of a judge overseeing an investigation of embattled President Dilma Rousseff’s accounts, a last-minute attempt to avoid a ruling that could lead to her impeachment.
Attorney General Luis Inacio Adams said Judge Augusto Nardes of the Federal Accounts Court, or TCU, had erred in making his position on the government’s delayed repayments to state-run banks public ahead of Wednesday’s expected vote.
Adams said he planned to present the argument for Nardes’ suspension to the TCU on Monday. A decision on Nardes before Wednesday’s vote will likely prove difficult.
