Brazilian president calls for charges of fiction

Brazilian President Michel Temer filed his charges for corruption on Tuesday as 'fiction', an attack on his government and the whole country.

Temer, who was formally accused of accepting millions of dollars on Monday, said the charge against him would have a negative effect on the recovery of the Brazilian economy, and might pave the way for reforms.

The Conservative leader said that the leaders of the world's largest meat company, JBS SA, accused him of being a witness only to escape imprisonment for their own crimes.
