The anti-corruption minister in Brazil's interim government has resigned, after a recording suggested he tried to derail an investigation into the state oil company, Petrobras, the BBC reported.
Fabiano Silveira is the second interim minister to step down, a week after the planning minister resigned following the release of a similar recording.
Silveira said his remarks have been taken out of context.
Both men were appointed by interim president, Michel Temer.
Temer replaced Dilma Rousseff as president in 12 May, after she was suspended to face a Senate impeachment trial over allegations of massaging the budget ahead of her re-election in 2014.
She has argued that impeachment proceedings against her are designed to stop the investigation into Petrobras, known as Lava Jato, or Car Wash.
