MORE recordings have emerged of Brazilian coup regime figures plotting to hush up a huge corruption scandal.

Two senior members of interim President Michel Temer’s Brazilian Democratic Movement Party (PMDB) were caught on tape discussing how to stymie probes into the multimillion-pound bribery scandal at state oil firm Petrobras.

The transcripts were published in newspaper Folha de Sao Paulo on Wednesday, less than two weeks after vice-president Mr Temer took power following the right-wing impeachment of his erstwhile ally Dilma Rousseff.
