Jose Roberto Arruda, the governor of Brazil's capital city Brasilia, has been accused of taking bribes from various contractors and bribing witnesses in a corruption case. Arruda claims that the money was donated and was used to buy food for the poor families in Brasilia. Video evidence was discovered showing Arruda accepting money during his 2006 election, but he continues to deny all charges. The Brazilian presidential election will be taking place this October and the current accusations against Arruda will be taken into consideration. Brazilians are being reminded of the mishaps that occured in the past by corrupt officials being sworn into presidency, and whether or not having Arruda as a leader would be a benefit to the people of Brazil.
