This corruptions scandal is far from over and Bravo to Brazil for letting the Attorney General do his job! I can't see that ever happening in Argentina or Venezuela.
@1. Strange that there's no sign of Brasiliero. Seppuku?

but WHY was the Dirceu encryptation never broken?
May 09th, 2015 - 06:34 pm - Link - Report abuse 0We have Homeland Security, defence acencies, CIA, FBI, GCHQ, Russian, Chinese, and the brightest young PhDs that I have known well and personally.
No, this was a cover-up.
It was no surprise to me that the illiterate and confused 'No Money Pepe' had to use creeps from the press to write “his” book.
May 09th, 2015 - 07:32 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I wonder how much of this is the truth. Ha, ha, ha, ha: no I don't he's so confused he still thinks he is the president.
Some of this murdering bastards actions / sayings have been just as big a disgrace as anybody else in SA.
This is the gist of one: “sometimes you have to forget the law to 'rule' the country” and is probably the worst a supposedly democratic president could ever say. Who, if anyone, is safe with cretins like him and his wife are in power?
Showing his seditious Tupa background without shame: they should all have been executed for what they did and how that resulted in Military Law and the desolation of the citizens he was supposed to be 'freeing from tyranny'.
”Lula da Silva is not corrupt as was (former impeached Brazilian president Fernando) Collor de Mello and other ex Brazilian presidents“, Mujica is quoted several times in the book”.
May 09th, 2015 - 09:58 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Not surprising Mujica did not spill the beans on Lula.....he received enormous loans, with very favourable terms, to finance projects in Uruguay, through the Brazilian Development Bank (BNDES), details of which are not accessible by the Brazilian taxpayer...I wonder why ? Lulla was the most corrupt politician Brazil has ever seen....and now one of the richest, dwarfing Fernando Collor, Paulo Maluf, Adhemar de Barros, Juscelino Kubitschek etc....Just one piece of shit covering up for another.
Buncha crooks.
