Brazil has new Justice Minister for second time in a month

March 15, 2016 by

Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff has appointed a new Justice Minister for the second time in a month. On Monday night, the President accepted the resignation of Justice Minister Wellington Lima e Silva, who quit because of a conflict of interest with his career as a prosecutor. Lima e Silva had served for less than a month, replacing José Eduardo Cardozo, who resigned under political pressure for his handling of a sweeping corruption investigation. Rousseff has now appointed career civil servant Eugênio de Aragão as Justice Minister. Aragão has no political party affiliation. Most recently, he served as Deputy Solicitor-General.
