Brazil`s Batista lands in Rio, detained on graft charges
Former billionaire Eike Batista, once Brazil`s richest man, arrived in Rio de Janeiro on a flight from New York on Monday and was detained by Federal Police in connection with charges including an alleged $16 million bribe to a former governor, Globonews television reported.
Batista, a brash entrepreneur who became the face of Brazil`s fizzled commodities boom, had been sought since last week by Brazilian police, who raided his Rio mansion and confiscated his luxury cars as part of their bribery investigation.
