Brasilia, December 3 (PL-RHC)-- The leader of the Brazilian Deputy Chamber, Eduardo Cunha, accepted Wednesday to open a political trial against Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff, as a result from an accusation to the Brazilian President because of possible irregularities in the public accounts, occurred last year.

The decision was announced at a press conference by the highest parliamentary authority, who said he found no objection to dismiss that complaint, lodged by lawyers and opposition parties.

The authorization is registered shortly after members of the Workers Party (PT) in the government announced that they would vote for a continuous process against the parliamentary authority for alleged failure of decorum.

The meeting of the Ethics Commission, which would be voted this process, it was postponed as it coincided with a plenary session that house.

Cunha, according to local media, threatened in recent days to approve the request for impeachment against Rousseff if felt that it would be processed at the Council of Ethics.

Accused of having undeclared bank accounts in Switzerland, the House leader is also under investigation by the Attorney General to receive tips from deviated funds and dirty business with Petrobras.
