A senior minister in Brazil's interim government said he would step down Tuesday after being accused of plotting to curb a huge corruption investigation.

Planning Minister Romero Juca was reportedly taped in a "secret" recording saying that a "national pact" was necessary to limit the country's biggest-ever corruption investigation into the state-owned oil company, Petrobras, according to Reuters.
