Odebrecht, the engineering firm at the heart of Brazil's biggest ever graft probe, on Tuesday agreed to cooperate with prosecutors, in a move likely to send shockwaves across political parties that for years illegally siphoned money from state contracts. Federal police found an office to pay bribes and it surfaced that since February it has a list of 200 politicians who benefited from siphoned funds for election campaigns. Read full article

I checked it and it seems to be truth...:
The ODEBRECHT list of ~200 politicians from at least 24 parties who received illegal funds for elections... INCLUDES ALL THE NAMES OF THE LEADERS OF THE OPOSITION ASKING FOR DILMA'S IMPEACHMENT...

CURIOUSLY though, the names of DILMA & LULA do NOT figure on that list...

Mar 24th, 2016 - 09:59 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Terribly disappointing that Brazilian corruption seems to be even more pervasive and widespread than most people know or assume.
Indeed after reading your posts I cannot fail to see that there are few non-corrupt and honest politicians within Latin America's largest economy.
I am unsure why you set out today to besmirch and denigrate your neighbour.... but it worked.

Or perhaps show how much the Brazilian government has let down the poorer and needier segment of their population by ruling over the country's largest ever transfer of illegal wealth to rich politicians.
I mean who was ruling over Brazil and Petrobras while this was happening? As Think helpfully highlighted it is the 2 people not guilty of anything that enabled the entire thing to happen.

Mar 26th, 2016 - 10:28 am - Link - Report abuse 0Interesting development...;
The aforementioned... List of 200 names of politicians from , at least, 24 parties who received illegal funds for elections.”... has suddenly been been declared Secret by federal judge Sergio Moro...
http://blogvisaosocial.com.br/juiz-moro-declara-sigilo-em-superlista-de-doacoes-da-odebrecht/
Strange move..., considering that it was the same judge Moro who leaked the list to the press some days ago in his crusade against corruption...
This list must now be kept secret because after deciphering its codes and nicknames it shows that ALL the leaders of the right wing opposition are mentioned as money recipients whilst Mr. Lula and Ms. Dilma are not mentioned...
Suddenly, judge Moro changed his mind and declared the secrecy of that list arguing that it was not proven that the donations on that list were illegal...
Judge Moro has been compared by the right wing Brazilian media to a very decent Italian judge called Antonio di Pietro, in charge of the Mani Pulite-(Clean Hands) judicial investigation that changed Italy...
Nothing further from the truth...
Judging by his actions so far judge Moro is a very partisan actor in charge of a judicial investigation that clearly deserves to be named Mani Sporche-(Dirty Hands)...
To end the corruption - once and for all - may be ideal but is a very difficult task - not just in Brazil but elsewhere as well. In Brazil it will be much more difficult because the population can't even figure out which party is less corrupt - the ruling party or the opposition parties.

In countries where corruption is a part of the survival game everyone is dirty. Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela etc etc you can't run anything without paying various gov't officials off. So either you pay or go out of business.
Mar 26th, 2016 - 11:38 am - Link - Report abuse 0The corruptions needs to be cut out of the system no matter who is ultimately brought down. They need not only to bring down the politician, police captain, police officer, fire chief, etc etc. jail them and bankrupt their families until they all learn there are serious consequences to their broken trust.
The USA did it 100yrs ago. Its time the rest of the world caught up.

@6 Think...
Mar 26th, 2016 - 03:56 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The VERY INTERESTING DETAIL mentioned by the Brasshole is all over the news and is no surprise to anyone who has their eyes and ears open....
Knowing Brazilian politics, it IS the truth ...it's a known fact that more than half the members of Congress have law suits against them.....having privileged status /immunity, giving them the (dubious) right to be be judged by only the Supreme Court, plus the mafia-mentality of their peers, it becomes difficult to actually 'find' conclusive proof of their guilt, but they are guilty, and so far, managing to outsmart the system - created by them - and which favours them.
As to your blind belief that Dilma & Lula are innocent because their names don't appear on THAT list , maybe you should consider the fact that several executives and or politicians who have opted for plea bargains, without ever having had any prior contact , are all saying the exact same things, in detail, incriminationg both fat D and the 9-fingered toad. To ignore the evidence that has been uncovered, a lot of it pretty damning, only makes sense if you are a radical 'petista' and/or benefiting from their corruption schemes.
Just one word of advice : since you probably aren't as naive as you make out to be, just to flatter the Brasshole, perhaps you should check all the info he posts....he has a problem with math and doesn't know what the zeroes imply...
Oh God is Think now telling us that the Brazilian judiciary is also corrupt...... where will it end?
Mar 27th, 2016 - 12:27 am - Link - Report abuse 0My opinion of Brazil drops every time I read Think's comments on Brazil.
Why has he suddenly taking such an intense disliking to a neighbouring hermano?
Skip,
Mar 27th, 2016 - 01:29 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Lots of renewed Think activity.
It's as thought he has reached a paradox - how can he criticise the popular, democratically elected Argentine government, without criticizing the Argentine people themselves.
It's as though he struggling to be relevant and is resorting to saying something, anything unpopular or offensively contrarian that he thinks will strike a nerve.
Gawd, what a meaningless, sad existence.
Poor turnip Thinky

Mar 30th, 2016 - 12:34 am - Link - Report abuse 0I do believe you are correct. He keeps silent on most Argentine articles. I didn't realise that he disliked Brazil so much but then he loves being the contrarian.
I guess he always has share prices to fall back upon when his ideas run out.

Self-aggrandizing contrarians and trolls, the lot of them.
With the regime change in Arg., they've lost focus of who or what they are supposed to hate.
