Brazil prosecutors charge Greenwald with cybercrimes
Prosecutors in Brazil charged US journalist Glenn Greenwald on Tuesday with cybercrimes after his investigative website published leaked messages that embarrassed top officials and threatened to undermine a massive corruption probe.
Greenwald, co-founder of The Intercept, was part of a “criminal organization,” the federal prosecutor’s office said in a statement.
The American allegedly “helped, motivated and guided” a group of hackers as they accessed the cell phones of Justice Minister Sergio Moro and prosecutors involved in the so-called Car Wash probe.
