So he stole how many millions?? What about interest?? Brazil is pathetic in their fight against corruption. The more money you keep giving to the government in the form of taxes, the more corruption you will have. The only ones that benefit from this socialist model are the people in power. Look at Lula and his son, they have huge amounts of land and cattle that they only acquired during his presidency. Dilma may be a little different, but she can't influence the whole of the corruption monster. The only way to end corruption is to lower the amount of money the government manages.

@ 3 BAMF Paraguay: The 468 million Brazilian real amount includes interest. Brazil is quite pathetic in most of times, not in this case. Luiz Stevao passed 8 years in prison and will refund everything he stole with interest rate. This is not common and shows that there is a slow but true advance on corruption fight.

@ 4 cornelius: I'm not sure if I understand what you're saying. Could you explain it better?
