Allegedly ?

KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK !!!

Sr. Barusco made it quite clear as to the amount paid and when.

Best Joke of the Week:
' The Workers' Party ( PT ) has dismissed the claims as lies, and said that it only accepted legal donations.“

Rather large and steady schedule of paid ” legal donations. ”

I thought that giving “ incentives ” to gain a contract was the norm in Latam, the only problem is “ DO NOT GET CAUGHT ”.

I can't imagine ANY non SA business not being forced into SA's way of business. It's a pay to play method of business. One can easily assume is a DFI came to SA, many politicians in SA got their bank accounts padded. It's like a mandatory fee structure.

Active and passive corruption. Simple as that!

The right is not to allow more such foreign companies in our areas.

“Active and passive corruption. Simple as that!”

To you, that has the brain of a 'simpleton', everything is simple. Look it up in the dictionary.......But you are right, Lula, Dilma and the PT are up to their eyeballs in shite...simple as that !

“The right is not to allow more such foreign companies in our areas.”

Looks like you still don't understand how PB - and all the other State-owned companies - are run. All the PB directors were appointed by the PT ; their main mission was to repay their political appointment by demanding bribes from every private company that wanted to do business with them, then funnel half the bribes back to the PT/PMDB, and the other half straight into their own pockets. If I'm not mistaken, these directors and these political parties are BRAZILIAN, aren't they ? not FOREIGN entities.....so one concludes that the corruption scheme was masterminded by “Brazilians”, to enrich “Brazilian” political parties......No use blaming foreigners for your own dirty, corrupt ways.
The victims are the companies that were extorted - foreign, and national - and the Brazilian taxpayer.
The criminals are the PT, the PMDB and the PB directors, who planned and executed the whole sordid scheme.
