Police have detained the Roman Catholic bishop of the city of Formosa in central Brazil, on charges of corruption.
Bishop José Ronaldo and six other priests are accused of diverting money from the coffers of churches in three cities around the capital Brasilia.
Prosecutors said they are investigating the disappearance of around $600,000 (£430,000) from church accounts.
Police say they expect to make more arrests.
The investigation by prosecutors and police started in 2015, following complaints by parishioners a year after José Ronaldo was appointed as bishop of Formosa.
