RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Brazil’s Supreme Court has absolved former President Fernando Collor de Mello in a corruption case that was among scandals that led to his impeachment more than 20 years ago.

In a decision posted on its website Friday, the court cited a lack of evidence for the allegation that Collor de Mello, now a senator, was part of a scheme to embezzle public funds using an advertising agency during his 1990-92 presidency.
