Brazil Senate President to face corruption trial
Brazil's Supreme Court voted on Thursday to put Senate President Renan Calheiros on trial for alleged embezzlement of state funds. Calheiros is accused of misappropriating public funds in a case dating back to 2007 after which he resigned as senate leader. He was re-elected later. Calheiros is also being investigated for involvement in corruption at the state-owned oil company Petrobras.
