Every day has its own episode in the Carlos Nuzman soap opera. On Wednesday October 18, the Rio de Janeiro prosecutors' office announced the charges against the former president of the 2016 Games and the Brazilian Olympic committee. He was formally accused of corruption, money laundering, tax evasion and gangsterism. On Thursday, a Brazilian judge said Carlos Nuzman, aged 75, would be entitled to a trial. Its date has not yet been communicated. At the same time, the courts decided that the Brazilian would not have to remain in prison while awaiting trial. His preventive detention will be replaced by conditional release. But it was not specified when Carlos Nuzman could leave his cell.
