    Well that 'ill “learn” him, as the illiterate masses say.

    I suppose he thought that as the graft was sanctioned by The Chief Crook Lula he would be safe from prosecution: that, clearly, was a mistake.

    He will sing like a canary now.
    He will be thinking I've taken one for the team (TEAM LULA) and received 19 years, meanwhile the nine fingered turd with a lisp remains untouched and even if he is condemned he'll croak of cancer or be dead after a few years in prison. Why waste 19 years of your life when the head of the gang hardly faces any music.

    ”It is often said (by Brazilians) that “God is a Brazilian.”

    Thus proving, once and for all, what a bunch of dumb fucks they are because there is no god.

    Given the disaster that is awaiting all Brazilians I would have thought they could concentrate their thoughts a little better.

    But, given they are Latams THAT will never happen.

    With 19 years to serve, but probably out in 6, the SOB Odebreshit will soon realize it's a wate of time to protect the 9-fingered toad....who knows they'll even be cell mates soon...or not, as the 9-fingered toad doesn't even have a secondary schooling diploma, so he'll be accomodated in the general population.....
