BRAZIL: DRUG INQUIRY RESULTS
A yearlong congressional inquiry into drug trafficking and money laundering
has concluded with a report calling for the indictment of some 300 people
and an overhaul of government counter-narcotics policies. Most of those
named in the document are reputed drug dealers, but the investigating
committee also recommended that charges be filed against 75 police
officials, 30 judges, 25 businessmen and 30 elected officials, ranging from
members of Congress to mayors.
