Brasilia, October 3 (RHC)-- Brazilian authorities have launched a criminal investigation against Eduardo Cunha, prosecutors said Thursday, accusing the speaker of Brazil's lower house of Congress of money laundering. The announcement came after Swiss authorities provided Brazilian prosecutors with details of four Swiss bank accounts in his name. The investigation was then transferred over to Brazilian prosecutors, as only Brazil’s Supreme Court has the legal authority to judge sitting lawmakers.
