BRASILIA, Ramadan 10, 1437, June 15, 2016, SPA -- Brazil's congressional ethics committee voted to strip suspended Speaker Eduardo Cunha of his seat on Tuesday and ban him for eight years from elected office in the country for lying about his undeclared Swiss bank accounts, according to Reuters. If he loses his seat, Cunha, the architect of President Dilma Rousseff's impeachment, will also lose the partial immunity enjoyed by elected politicians and could be arrested and prosecuted by lower courts in several corruption cases brought against him. --SPA 00:11 LOCAL TIME 21:11 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
