In June 2011, top cabinet official Antonio Palocci resigned. President Rousseffs chief of staff, Palocci, was accused of increasing his personal wealth as a corporate consultant while he was also serving in congress and coordinating Rousseffs presidential campaign. Out of the last four chiefs of staff, Palocci was the third to resign amid accusations. Paloccis resignation did not cease investigations which continue to explore if there was a connection between Paloccis business dealings and Rousseffs presidential campaign.
