The Brazilian president's chief of staff Antonio Palocci has resigned over corruption allegations.
Mr Palocci, who ran a political consultancy while serving in the Brazilian Congress, has denied any wrongdoing.
A newspaper reported he had increased his personal wealth 20-fold over the past four years.
His resignation is a blow to President Dilma Rousseff who took office only six months ago.
The scandal broke three weeks ago when the Folha de Sao Paulo newspaper reported Mr Palocci's net worth was 20 times greater than it had been four years ago.
