VOICED : Senado brasileno ratifica al fiscal general propuesto por Bolsonaro

The Brazilian Senate confirmed Augusto Aras as Attorney General, nominated by President Jair Bolsonaro. Aras pledged independence and praised the Lavallato operation, which exposed corruption in Petrobras and led to numerous arrests, including former President Lula da Silva. He committed to addressing errors in the operation, such as excessive preventive detentions. As head of the Federal Public Ministry, Aras will serve a two-year term, with the potential for renewal, and must act independently from legislative and executive powers.
