Brazilian senator Chico Rodrigues, a key ally of Brazil’s president, has been arrested after anti-corruption officers discovered a wad of banknotes in the underpants he was wearing.

巴西總統的主要盟友、參議員奇科．羅德里奎，在被反貪汙警察從其穿著的內褲中發現一疊鈔票後，遭到逮捕。

Police initially found 10,000 reais (£1,380) and £4,650 inside a safe in his house. He then asked if he could go to the bathroom and an officer noticed a large, rectangular bulge under his shorts.

警方最初在他家的保險箱找到1萬雷亞爾（約1380英鎊；約5.3萬台幣）和4650英鎊（約17.8萬台幣）。接著他要求去廁所，但一名員警注意到他的短褲鼓起來一個四方形的大凸塊。

"Found inside his underpants, near his buttocks, were stacks of money that totaled 15,000 reais (£2,000)," the police said.

警方說：「我們在他的內褲裡靠近屁股的地方，發現一疊疊總共1.5萬雷亞爾（約2000英鎊；約7.66萬台幣）的錢。」

When asked a further three times whether he had any additional cash stowed in his underpants, he angrily shoved his hand into his underpants to retrieve more stacks of bills totaling 17,900 reais (£2,500).

當警方3度問他是否還有在內褲藏其他錢，他生氣地把手伸進內褲裡取出更多疊鈔票，總計17.9萬雷亞爾（約2500英鎊；約9.57萬台幣）。
