BRASILIA (Reuters) - Brazil's federal police on Tuesday delivered to a top court justice the bulk of their investigation into allegations that President Michel Temer took bribes in exchange for political favours doled out to the world's largest meatpacker, JBS SA.

The document, made public by the top court, is a significant step in the investigation, which is widely expected to lead to Brazil's top federal prosecutor lodging corruption charges against Temer by the end of next week, according to several sources with direct knowledge of the probe.
