The New York Times
The Leader of Brazil’s Opposition Party, Aecio Neves de Cunha, has reportedly requested aid from the Brazilian Federal Prosecutor in lieu of suspicions that Mr. Neves is being spied on. Upon investigation, it was confirmed that the often contested leader of the opposition is being closely watched by at least four governmental agents.
There are conflicting reports of who exactly would be spying on Mr. Neves, but there seems to be agreement that the newly instated Brazilian President, Michel Temer, is behind the privacy strike.
There are certain issues with how exactly this information was uncovered that lead to real questions about the stability of the new Brazilian government. Do loyalties lie with Mr. Neves or President Temer, and what do these potential source for leaks mean for Brazil as a whole?
The request, verbatim, is quoted below.
“[Hello, Mr. Neves. At Mr. Dallagnol's command, my men have investigated the matter of those spying on you. By listening into their conversations, we have determined that this violation of privacy is a product of politics, and its trail ends at acting president Michel Temer's feet.
May God be with you,
Vitor Torres, Chief of Security]"
