  Everybody, but everybody knew - and still knows - that a huge percentage of any contract with federal Brasil or the Brasilian states had to be given the 'smoke and shadows' treatment to win their contract.
  
  Everybody, but everybody knew - and still knows - that this money went straight into the secret bank accounts of the Brasilian politicians.
  
  Whatever Siemens' motives, the substantive corruption lays with the Brasilians.
  
  'The cost of doing business ...'
  
  If Dilma is STRONG, she will bludgeon the evil corrupt in the government, the Senate and the states, and in retirement - including Lula - and by so doing, she will greatly earn her re-election.

  Unfortunately same shit different day in Brazil and it looks like nothing much will change....
  Dilma is incompetent, the press just exposed her signing a contract while Chairwoman of Petrobras when buying a company in the USA, she claims she had no idea about it, but put options in the contract ended up costing Brazil hundreds of millions, she aint no businesswoman. For God's sake when will Brazilians ever take responsibility for their stupidness, always blame someone else. But the public keeps on voting for this sort of bullshit, how many more hospitals or schools could have been built?

  If the CADE did their job, they wouldn't have to wait for one of the participants of the fraudulent scheme to alert them.....just a bunch of incompetent goons getting paid for nothing...
  The Petrobrás deal, whereby Dilma now alleges “she only followed advice when signing the deal”, just produced a loss to the company, and to Brazil, of no less that US$ 1,135 billion....all engineered by the PT.
  
  And last but not least, cannot resist exposing the Brasileiro asshole@3..
  I am NOT advocating that a lot of politicians in the PSDB are any better than the rest, but it is a typical reaction from an ignorant Brazilian PT voter, to pick on a relatively “small” corruption scheme by the PSDB, and omit the PT “mensalão”, which diverted hundreds of millions of dollars from the taxpayer into the pockets of their own party /politicians.
  
  And just fyg, “PSDB” is not a word, it's an acronym....'seu analfaburro'
