oops all just all money is for to discuss with you know with his legacy an office of transparency international and n.g.o.s that combats corruption around the world he has been working closely with prosecutors on the carwash case. if you see is here the systemic. and. you're going to. move to a new system is if you get on mir's most is there more than this is very inspiring how could you explain the fact that you have a job to place here impressive how was it possible what was the significance of the case your problem on their own but as you were systemic or make a new year's more. or no more deals what i mean to contractors that is norfolk i scholar was followed is well known as the movie result but he

is in this. for even though. there. was. possibly also. federal police inspector philip has the financial crimes unit up the force of. the order to go. to court or tell us. up a little bit us was he put as well as up while. well as this. but i. don't enjoy. according to a secret agreement that existed for more than ten years the cartel would nominate one of its members to be awarded each bit robust contract for refineries oil rigs and other multi-million dollar projects.

but. the rules resulted in payments for the. executives were bribed to go along and they coast into the contract. in fact this can stretch far beyond two building stadiums for the two thousand and fourteen world cup the two thousand and sixteen be olympics and other major infrastructure projects throughout the country. traditionally. yaz is made usual your will to see. in june two thousand and fifteen the task force move

against the construction companies in the cartel twelve top level executives were arrested. but. the most powerful prince and. c.e.o. of the company that bears his name. is the largest construction company lot in america its bing operation. members and was the most extensive in the region. that he she is still please. give me much.

given. that as. he. goes up it. was up at the. on march eighth two thousand and sixteen marcello the village was sentenced to nineteen years in prison for corruption money laundering and criminal association. we headed to some of the reno things brazil to get the other bridge company's response to the scandal the business was founded here in one thousand nine hundred four by monticello the bridges grandfather and the city is still its headquarters. its role your current business interests or are very historic and mostly. you work. is a longtime member of the other bridgeboro played actors despite the conviction of its c.e.o. on the bridge to liberating more than twenty countries around the world and had

revenues of about twenty six billion dollars last year but there was. more gain but is there british space was substance fate. g g. g absolute to suspect. the company was too slow to warm to deny everything to deny deny and deny this. they seem to. live. on the u.n. went to school my eyes let me. do going to deck a busy deck of the deck of the sea to work in the wood as you keep other see the. deer they did you didn't git dodge at all being set of damage bhargava wal-mart was

awash with. expedite the process it was to invent a corruption but it made war in a competitive way it was able to prove that it had also an amazing capability of organizing a very efficient corruption pull the most of force gene but in the. air. with zero grams or so. it's usually just city wipes or c.d.'s all of you must say. sygate are you who've you must serve only. get the sponge you you want for the preview according to authorities other brits had a deviation that ran an intricate off the books accounting system and how it's own bank to bribe note only company executives but politicians that started to become

clear when marcello there but it's begun talking in hopes of reducing his one thousand years sentence for marcello lined up to speak to. them in. public to see. coming. members of all the major political parties in brazil receive kickbacks in exchange for appointing petrobras executives dozens of congressmen senators and ministers have been implicated in this country other branches testimony of a body blow to the workers body of former president. and he successor. after. the model said he was impeached you know was two thousand and sixteen two weeks later you will i was formally charged with corruption in connection with the car wash scandal. well but i seriously was being held to account investigators were

also making steady progress on the international front with the help of the u.s. justice department. is that by years. i knew this was just so but it was part of the scheme is that. all of them all up on the moment of saying. hold the phone which of those. it is for nasa. in the summer of two thousand and sixteen the company pled guilty to american charges that it provided almost eight hundred million dollars in bribes for more than one hundred projects in twelve countries. all the bridge agreed to pay a three point five billion dollars fine undisclosed details of its corrupt activities in latin america and africa. or there but as little minutes of those those if i. may as macon is plug in play.

whatever it is guilty plea said of investigations throughout latin america. key to those differences the ciphering how the money flow from other bridge to corrupt officials through countries like panama that specialize in offshore banking. to. us but. when i mean a newspaper. he says police investigators here uncovered up on i mean in company type two all the bridge. even. at a roadblock when. they were. to. buy me a sequel more went on. for. many of the shell

companies used by members of the brazilian construction cartel to dispense bribes were set up by. the law firm of the center of the bottom up paper speak which exposed the financial dealings of some of the most powerful and wealthy people in the world. most of. us yes. they've been. superman yeah. this is he thought. they really say. it and they. say it in the end of the scene us. as he get. to wrestle the program called more. than their c.s.i. . but pan am i was not only a conduit for corrupt payments it was a good place for sweetheart deals. in order but it's.

important. so are you doing at the moment all the ground on average or below. the hill that is between two thousand and ten and two thousand and fourteen on the bridge paid tens of millions of dollars in bribes to secure public works contracts one of the most profitable was building the coast highway. but i think you know beyond the which is you might. want to risk. being miss a legislator with the country's governing body has been questioning the pricing of the project for years as a preexisting my your can we were going to say yes when you. don't get any that in your e-mail. you know when you're nice to me. is that it's a sin. and so the cia moved. him and. you. would use.

in july two thousand and seventeen other bridges reach an agreement with the panama to pay two hundred twenty million dollars in fines and provide information about public corruption to settle bribery charges in the country. by east board. that is. out of. kenya. meaning me your only if. that means only watch you. all the way other brits conducted its business are growing through old latin america. the latest flashpoint is peru where the country's ruling establishment is on the seach from its connections to the company. better. for you to go beneath. our tourney was that i won some just the public money but all from two thousand to two thousand and five during the presidency of alejandro toledo now accused of receiving bribes from other bridge yeah most. of

it just. sort of being the view we said again. while the british wanted the lion's share of a multi-billion dollar highway project in the peruvian coast to brazil and they got it too late though has been charged with accepting a twenty million dollar bribe to steal them the business according to the head of all the british in bed or who confessed in two thousand and sixteen the final deal was struck in brazil. to go back up on the us which prison cell. there's a hole in your stomach but is it actually hundred polio the motivation is in to be proven prosecutors are trying to extradite a letter from the u.s. to face bribery charges which he denies. so the british didn't just pay off in the beatle politicians the company promoted its interest by gaining influence over the political system itself in the early game. but i don't see it all would have.

been there but i'm over here and if you know your political scene almost in the fall it will be and that it would help us in the area never. admitted to giving millions of dollars to the nationalist party to finance to complain about young. president from two thousand and eleven to two thousand and sixteen. if you only guess on google plus illiterate. illegal. days. when you. were a group doing. going to police you can three million dollars and complain but at the city's company supported the left not only to promote other branches centrist in peru but to curry favor with loyalist workers party in brazil you know what i'd wish she were imperiously key to the medical school. president has could

foresee. that his million people each his money and. economic are here present allegedly. she a lot of us was corrected if there. was a being people political move for their own and but the you elect to see and to learn to see the. sort of the that they hear hear hopefully the. un at the end. with the us it's only a year ago it was going to see a lot of people. both on his wife and i mean area who was general secretary of the nationalist party are now in prison awaiting trial. conservative opposition leader . and her popular force party are also being investigated for taking money from other bridge to fund her two thousand and eleven presidential bid she says the

accusation is false but must say all the bridge has testified that his company helped finance her campaign. on the in february but i confirmed giving more than a million dollars to support for in the presidential race why put up every day but if you have political say you are bad apples but the use of is a feeling of the. sauce to neil. economy. store. that's december the guy was kununurra right at the doorstep of purpose current president. yes it's your teens eat burgers congress launching beachfront proceedings against. alleging his companies received almost eight hundred thousand dollars from other bridge while he was serving as a public official who she's getting nice all wrongdoing and not only aborted impeachment but prosecutors continue to investigate his company's dealings with other bridge i guess it does a little filling in that it of atlantis when it is. it is it all of you know

sort of until one of this. bubble a scientist there was an attorney general is overseeing the prosecution an investigation of perverts president and other high level officials for dealings with other bridge why do you think he led by jack oks went so far in peru how does corruption in peru now compare with the historical corruption of standards here in the midst of an illusion. is that the plaintiffs have about all but over the cases they didn't release. the beignets of it but i wouldn't deny the bit of it is shown to the leads of. the very second film the most likely doolittle's. you know politico's and debase. the manikin the most on his own almost as well he said we pull would look into that to say how it is he did i think if you're having a. when isn't it when a friend in us. in a little discipline over there with me. every week seems to bring new developments

around the world in connection with the car wash scandal governments from a quarter to one border are dealing with the repercussions of a case. back in brazil the supreme court is considering former president lula subpoena all of a twelve year sentence he received for corruption these plans to run for president are being danger of being the rail. i love my job well i just stop a bullet he don't know the political bit as india. has since stopped by their support but there is no live for us or discourteous in the system when they look at my said i'm a lot month is other if you can know as opposed to no ellison i was selling real guns he approaches in the fall says there were democrats will file system g. started you did one since stopped you sushi had a deal so scarce as hoops on. this you are whatever a war may have to this is cited but i would doubtless have bought into going to die just or you could call sober for that. as well the rich they don't pony hopes the

agreements he does sign with eight countries will allow it to continue operating us one of the largest construction companies in the world. or the us wants to continue work can you give me a compelling reason why after all that we know after all the lies we work towards. i should now trust all the british the waste for whom if you need to. process your couple more feeding. it worship is so overly picky. that i will be at my aunt will be the ones who don't want to fight bought up that you might want to last december they kind of wish taskforce reimbursed bit of last more than two hundred million dollars that the company overpaid for contracts as a result of corruption by executives something construction company could tell. you so i almost said ok that it came out despite the dock was instead of the people but

is a loss was the fault of the image coming on to those precise laws. can use when in coming in fact the last possible such as this my sister is also shall prosper his shop you know but as you always know where all my old know i only wish you guys so i will process i love my shop boys you know but as you know much it to which i speak that you have always had the but as you. will know. if this decade and only and will work with it seems to sort of turn the head to my holding a sort of look if the most of the ca is the most productive as well is where you can probably manage with a misstep of an open door level so an idea from where you say he let's just say that. the better man indignantly you don't know almost the estimate because a significant aspect exhumed remember when doing so but. that's what i think is essential you could if there had been some bloke will be. at

the end they say to get me to seize. it. to train and equip the opposition in syria so they can help push back these terrorists be poland power investigates how the us supplies soviet style weapons to its allies through private company spend the us government could wash their hands and say well we didn't know where it was coming from so weapon that was supplied by the us government may well and often being pointed at us soldiers yes absolutely we pick it up less than two months off in the professional americas guns secret pipeline to syria and this time on al jazeera business updates brought to you by qatar airways going places together.
