‘Super Wednesday’ Purge Snares Brazil’s Powerful

Wednesday was a dramatic day for Brazil. It began with the arrest of Wesley Batista, the CEO of the world’s largest meat company, JBS SA.

In the afternoon, it was former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva’s turn to testify in court for a second time on corruption charges.
