Brazil's former President has been arrested, adding to the former heads of state that have been targeted in the global investigation into #moneylaundering #ButNothingsHappening latimes.com/world/brazil/l…
A spreadsheet showing 20 years of payments to the former President Temer was discovered as part of an investigation into corruption in energy & mining deals.
This arrest is for 1 of the 10 corruption investigations currently linked to the former President. The President before him has accused him of arranging her impeachment as part of a coup, then using his allies to prevent his impeachment! #ButNothingsHappening
This investigation grew out of investigations related to corruption with Petrobras, the Brazilian state oil company. If you have followed other #ButNothingsHappening cases, you might know that scandal involved Marc Rich's former company Glencore & other Swampy energy companies.
Yep, the Marc Rich that Bill Clinton pardoned on his last day in office to derail the global money laundering investigations.

It looks like this piece of the case has been handed out to the US Attorney's office for the Southern District of Texas. Who has been working a variety of cases that probably grew out of this investigation! #ButNothingsHappening
It was revealed a few weeks ago that Glencore is also under investigation for similar corruption in Venezuela & Nigeria.
The laundering of money through Swiss banks has also forced Swiss investigators into investigating the Glencore & other companies ties to corruption in Brazil!
Petrochina has also been linked to the Brazilian corruption. So the election of a populist President that wants to drain the Amazonian Swamp!
This set of charges is probably related to these investigations into illegal oil trading & corruption.
Another Venezuelan corruption links investigation for trying to obstruct the investigation into oil industry corruption.
They also managed to convict a former Congressman in November for fraud, tax charges, & election crimes.
That was a day after Chicago & NYC based traders plead guilty for suing spoof futures orders to manipulate commodities prices? Why do Chicago & NYC based traders plead guilty in Houston? Because that's where the big investigation is happening! justice.gov/usao-sdtx/pr/t…
It seems the Venezuelan, Brazilian, & oil market manipulation investigation has been running out of @USAO_SDTX for quite some time below the radar. #ButNothingsHappening
