Brazil Congress expels ex-speaker Eduardo Cunha

The lower house of Congress in Brazil has expelled Eduardo Cunha, who engineered the impeachment of Dilma Rousseff for lying about secret bank accounts in Switzerland.
 
Dilma Rousseff was accused of illegally manipulating the budget to hide a growing deficit as Brazil's president.

Eduardo Cunha, who has been charged with corruption by the Supreme Court, has been banned from politics for eight years and faces arrest now that he has lost his congressional prerogatives.
 
The chamber voted overwhelmingly 450-10 to strip the once powerful former speaker of his seat.
  
Cunha, has warned that he could tell all in a plea bargain that could compromise many in a discredited political establishment, where 50 politicians are already under investigation for taking kickbacks in the Petrobras scandal.
