BRASILIA/SAO PAULO (Reuters) - Brazilian President Michel Temer denied allegations made by a billionaire businessman in a magazine interview published on Saturday that he led a corruption scheme in which politicians squeezed high-profile executives for bribes, and vowed to sue the businessman.
In a statement, Temer's office said he will take "all appropriate actions" against billionaire Joesley Batista, who told ةpoca magazine that the 77-year-old politician has run a bribe-for-favours scheme at the government since 2010.
