BRASILIA (Reuters) - Brazil's Economy Minister Paulo Guedes will provide prosecutors and the Supreme Court with voluntary evidence showing he broke no laws or had any conflicts of interest in regards to offshore investments, his lawyers said on Tuesday.

The statement comes after Guedes was named in reports by the consortium of news outlets covering the so-called "Pandora Papers" data dump, which triggered a preliminary investigation by prosecutors in Brazil.
