AndreEsteves, the thirteenth richest man in Brazil, and senator Delcidio Amaralwere arrested on Wednesday in connection with the ongoing Petrobrascorruption probe.


According to the Reuters, Esteves isunder temporary arrest for up to five days with a possible five day extension,but the reason behind the arrest has not been disclosed yet.


Policereportedly took documents from Esteves’ Rio de Janeiro home and fromthe São Paulo headquarters of BTG Pactual, the finance firm where he serves asCEO and is the controlling shareholder.


Esteves, 47,is worth an estimated $2.5 billion.


BTG Pactualwas one of the initial investors in Sete Brasil, a state-owned rig companyestablished to provide vessels to Petrobras.


BTG Pactual,the largest independent investment bank in Latin America,confirmed Esteves’ arrest and told Reuters it will cooperate withinvestigators.


Last month, Brazil’sParliamentary Commission of Inquiry voted in favor of indicting formerofficers of Petrobras and Sete Brasil along with other agents and lobbyists foralleged graft.


FormerPetrobras director Pedro Barusco told a Brazilian court in June that agroup of shipbuilding companies paid brides to win contracts with Sete Brasil.


An officialclose to the investigation told Bloomberg onWednesday that Brazilian police also arrested senator Delcidio Amaral, amember of Brazil’s ruling Workers Party, on suspicion of harming thePetrobras probe.


Amaral alsoserves as chairman of the Senate’s economic affairs committee and is close toformer Brazilian president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who isbeing investigated for allegedly using his influence to help Brazilianconstruction firm Odebrecht win overseas business.


BrazilianSupreme Court Justice Teori Zavascki said he authorized Amaral’s arrest after prosecutorsprovided evidence that the senator offered to help former Petrobras executiveNester Cerveró flee if he did not aide investigators, Reuters said.


In August, Cerverówas sentenced to 12 years and three months in prison for money launderingand corruption charges tied to a bribe he allegedly paid lower house speaker EduardoCunha.


Neither Estevesnor Amaral have been formally charged.


Over 100people have been arrested in connection with the probe, known as Operation CarWash, including several high ranking executives.


Brazilianprosecutors allege that Petrobras employees collaborated with other firms toinflate the cost of contracts and skim off the excess funds, a scheme that alsoallegedly included bribery and money laundering.


Petrobras hasdefended itself against the allegations, claiming that itwas also a victim of fraud.
