The newly appointed Minister of Transparency& Oversight, Fabiano Silveira, reportedly said in a televised interview that "prosecutors and the federal audit court should be part of the negotiations of leniency deals".
This change would require the new interim government of interim President Michel Temer to get legislative approval from Congress, Reuters reported.
The deals are sought by engineering and construction companies caught up in the massive corruption scandal involving state-run oil player Petrobras.
