    That's the same law firm the dirty Ks and Chavez family uses to launder their money.

    Someone should do something about that...

    The whole story involving Lula's obvious participation in this corruption scheme with Mossack Fonseca is too long to post here, but interesting evidence is surfacing, with various new witness - not only those who made plea bargains with the Federal Police - which should make it very difficult for Lula - and his family - to lie their way out of this. I'm sure he can already feel the shit touching his bum.

    What will be 'unmissable' will be the scene of Lula, handcuffed, being escorted to prison, with his filthy family.

    Brazil is already “Short of Cash [AND time]”. Spending more cash / time will simply be a WASTE of the valuable resources which are already in short-supply.

    The news about the investigations - no matter how “interesting/tasty”:
    - Benefit the publishers & the TV only.
    - Will ultimately boil down to nothing [either due to the lack of concrete evidence or due to some legal-loopholes].

    The only option AND the only hope; is to legalize corruption in Brazil! Just by doing so; the outflow of the “supposed to be illegal” gains / activities will stop and the inflow of the same - in trillions, from all over the world - will ultimately benefit Brazilian banks who will be EAGER to lend this money!

    @6 yb
    I believe so....what I think LoBoMAL was trying to get through is that if the Government legalized corruption - since it seems to be the only thing they are good at - a few wealthy Brazilians who have money stashed outside the country 'might' (but not likely) feel tempted to bring back some of it , if they didn't have to hand over 30 % in taxes and fines, not to mention the exchange rate to be used to convert the USD to Real, of R$ 2,66 (the exchange rate in force before people discovered how the Government had fucked-up) versus the current rate of R$ 4,00.....Indeed, while the 'shit-for-brains' in government think they're offering a good deal, it's no more than outright confiscation. Only nitwits will fall for it.

    It is extremely unlikely that the Brazilians will ever unite to elect serious political candidates!
