Brazil’s tourism minister, Henrique Eduardo Alves, resigned on Thursday, according to the president’s office, making him the third minister to leave the month-old government of interim President Michel Temer.
Alves was one of about two dozen officials implicated in a graft scheme at state oil company Petrobras in plea bargain testimony by a former executive made public on Wednesday.
