And finally… smarty pants

Senator Chico Rodrigues, an ally of President Jair Bolsonaro, resigned as the government’s deputy leader in the senate after the embarrassing incident.

Officers first found 10,000 reals (worth around £1,362) and $6,000 (around £4,600) in a safe in Mr Rodrigues’ house – and then noticed a bulge in the senator’s shorts.

A police report said they then found 15,000 reals “inside his underwear, near his buttocks”. A further 18,150 reals was found in his underwear later.

Mr Rodrigues has been suspended as a senator pending the investigation, CNN reports.
