On charges or charge?
Please look at the following
Brazil is suffering from a severe recession. Its president, Dilma Rousseff, is being impeached on charges that she manipulated government accounts; an interim government, led by Michel Temer, is in charge.
I don't get why 'charges' has been used instead of 'charge' above? Should it not have been 'charge' as she manipulated government accounts is just a single accusation. So, why then 'charges' has been used?
Thank you.
