Brazil Anticorruption Bill Passes, Sparks Judicial Concerns

摘要

A bill passed by Brazil's lower legislative house this week could greatly diminish the independence of the country's judiciary, according to prosecutors heading the "Car Wash" corruption case, who have threatened to resign en masse over the measure. If the bill becomes law, prosecutors argue it would shield politicians from the reach of legal authority, despite its stated intention to combat corruption within their ranks.
