Rousseff leaves Brazil presidential palace for last time

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-37293119

Former Brazilian president Dilma Rousseff has left her official residence in the capital Brasilia for the last time following her impeachment and removal from office.

Supporters and colleagues gathered outside the Alvorada Palace to bid her farewell, some handing her flowers.

Ms Rousseff was dismissed last week after the Senate found her guilty of manipulating the budget.

She denies wrongdoing and has dismissed her impeachment as a "coup d'etat".
