Brazilian prosecutors have made a formal allegation of tax evasion and money laundering against former tourism minister Henrique Alves.
巴西检察官日前正式指控前旅游部长恩里克·阿尔维斯犯有逃税和洗钱罪。
Brazil's Attorney General Rodrigo Janot presented evidence to the Supreme Court saying that Mr Alves had a secret bank account in Switzerland.
巴西司法部长罗德里格·加诺向最高法院提供证据,称阿尔维斯在瑞士有一个秘密银行账户。
Mr Alves resigned last Thursday after being linked to a corruption scheme. He became the third cabinet minister to stand down since interim President Michel Temer came to power last month.
就在上周四,阿尔维斯因被指控与一项腐败计划有关后辞职。他是自临时总统米歇尔·特梅尔执政后第三位下台的内阁部长。
All are implicated in a major corruption scandal at the state oil company, Petrobras. Mr Alves denied the allegations.
这些高官都牵扯进了一起有关巴西国家石油公司Petrobras的重大腐败丑闻,但是阿尔维斯否认了这次指控。
The allegations come from Sergio Machado, the former chief executive of Petrobras subsidiary Transpetro.
这一指控是来自Petrobras分公司Transpetro的前任首席执行官塞吉奥·马查多。
He said that both Mr Temer and Mr Alves asked him for money for electoral campaigning and knew it would come from an illegal kickbacks scheme that diverted billions of dollars from the national oil company.
他表示,特梅尔和阿尔维斯都为了竞选活动而向他要钱,并且他们知道这些钱是来自于非法的回扣计划,即从国家石油公司挪用数十亿美元。
And Alves said on social media that contributions to his campaigns had been made through official channels and declared to election authorities. He said that he was resigning in order "to avoid embarrassing" the government.
随后,阿尔维斯在社交媒体上表示,用于选举的钱都是来自于官方的正规渠道,并且已经向选举当局上报。此外,他声称自己辞职的原因是为了避免给政府抹黑。
