SAO PAULO (Reuters) - Brazil's former president Michel Temer was hit with corruption charges on Friday, just a day after being charged in a separate graft case, the federal prosecutors office in Rio de Janeiro said.

Temer, who was president from 2016 until the end of 2018, was arrested last week as part of an investigation into kickbacks in the construction of a nuclear plant. He has since been released and has said he is innocent.
