the biggest corruption scandal in brazil and latin america began by accident at this petrol and car wash complex in the nation's capital. it was march seventeenth two thousand and fourteen and the federal police team had the location on the surveillance they believed it was the center of a money laundering operation run by a former convicted criminal i'll bet you're safe. to say. the legal disability built on the new leads a group of state prosecutors overseeing what is now known or the carwash investigation discovered you may you intercept don't have to say. to. me that this is. a little bit of walking into one of the ways you know sort of at the rice. paper. that they've put over us the national oil company turned out to be. the executive in charge of refining and supply if

crimes unit force. to. tell us. us was it as well as a. whole. well as this. but i. don't enjoy it. according to a secret agreement that existed for more than ten years the cartel would nominate one of its members to be awarded each contract for refineries oil rigs and other multi-million dollar projects. here will allow. more hair going to the computer lab to just put. up with it is that.

the court told rules resulted in steep overpayments for the work done. executives were bribed to go along and they coast built into the contract. in fact this scheme stretched. to building stadiums for the two thousand and fourteen world cup the two thousand and sixteen 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 move against the construction companies in the cartel of top level executives were arrested. but. the most powerful prince.

village was sentenced to nineteen years in prison for corruption money laundering and criminal association. we headed to some other a north east brazil to get the other british company's response to the scandal the business was founded here in one thousand nine hundred four by monticello their bridges grandfather and the city is still its headquarters. its role your current business interests or are very historic and mostly. iraq. is a longtime member of the other bridgeboro played actors despite the conviction of its c.e.o. on the bridge the 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 or specific was substance faith. g g. g absolute to

suspect. the company was too slow to warm up to deny everything to deny deny and deny this who. they seem to. live. on the u.n. went to school my eyes let me. do going to deck of the deck of the deck of the sea to walk in the wood as you keep rather to see the. deer they did you didn't cheat dodge at all being set of damage by the governor when mark was awash with. expedite the process but it was clear and invent a corruption that 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 diem but in the.

air. with both arms are so. it's usually just said you want to maintain a c.b.s. all of you must say. sygate or you who've you must serve only. get the sponge you are 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 no totally company executives but politicians that started to become clear when marcello there but it's begun talking in hopes of reducing his one thousand year sentence for marcello i know. he was. going to i was even talking to the public to see president's political 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 conflict other branches testimony of a body blow to the workers body of former presley then we see now. and he successor the admiral said. you were never ever. let me. know was two thousand and sixteen two weeks later you will i was formally charged with corruption in connection with the carwash scandal. well but as you sleep 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 year. and with. the movement also. knew this was just so so but it was part of the scheme is that. the hold up when the

moment you saying it was a. hold those before them which of those lawful of r.g.s. of your just. to the wall the bus. 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 british agreed to pay a three point five billion dollar fine and disclose details of its corrupt activities in latin america and africa. didn't play. whatever it is guilty plea set of investigations throughout latin america. key to those efforts this is suffering how the money flowed from other bridge to corrupt officials through countries like panama that specialize in offshore banking.

but. the investigative unit often i mean a newspaper. he says police investigators here uncovered up i mean and company tied to all the bridge. that sort. it even. at a roadblock when. they were there. to. buy me a sequel more. which. 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 papers which expose the financial dealings of some of the most powerful and wealthy people in the world. most of. us yes. they have been.

us. superman yeah most of. us this is he taught. us. over seen us by the same as he get. to rest of the program called more. than their. us but pan am i was not only a conduit for corrupt payments it was a good place for sweetheart deals. over there but it's. done. so are you doing at the moment all the ground on average or below in your head all 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 didn't you know
