BUENOS AIRES (Sputnik) — Argentina did not find any illegalities in the impeachment process against Brazil's suspended President Dilma Rousseff, Argentinian Foreign Minister Susana Malcorra said in an interview with Sputnik and five other media outlets.

"There is not a single thing that we have found from the legal point of view which would make us think that the impeachment does not comply with the necessary moves," Malcorra said.

In May, Brazil's Senate voted in favor of starting impeachment proceedings against Rousseff after she was accused of concealing the country’s budget deficit ahead of the 2014 re-election. Rousseff has been suspended from office for 180 days, pending trial. Michel Temer, who had been Brazil's vice president since 2011, is assuming presidency during that period.
