Rousseff judgment hearings to start August 25
Brasília (AFP) - The final judgement phase in the impeachment of suspended president Dilma Rousseff will start August 25, just four days after the Rio Olympics end, the Senate news service said Friday. "The judgement session for Dilma Rousseff will start on the 25th at 9:00 am. The notice has been delivered to Jose Eduardo Cardozo, the suspended president's lawyer," the official news outlet said. Rousseff is accused of breaking budget laws in taking unauthorized government loans to mask the depth of economic difficulties during her 2014 reelection.
