SAO PAULO, BRAZIL — It was the president's brother on the line, asking for cash.
"Hey, get me two grand," Genival Inacio da Silva demanded of an alleged gambling kingpin, according to transcripts of wiretaps published here this month.
The telephone intercepts were part of a federal police operation known as Checkmate, which has led to the arrests of dozens of people in a slot-machine-distribution scam.
Checkmate is just the latest in a chain of theatrically named scandals that have come to dominate Brazilian headlines and tarnish the image of President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, sometimes called the Teflon president because of his aptitude in shaking off scandal.
