RIO DE JANEIRO – Brazil's Supreme Court has absolved former President Fernando Collor de Mello in a corruption case dating back to his term more than 20 years ago.
Collor de Mello, now a senator, was accused of being part of embezzling public funds in a scheme using a publicity agency during his 1990-1992 presidency.
The Supreme Court cited lack of evidence in a ruling posted on its website Friday.
Corruption scandals prompted Collor de Mello's resignation in 1992.
