REF: Petrobras has said it was the victim of the vast bid-rigging and kickbacks scheme that Odebrecht admitted to helping run“:

So is Odebrecht the ONLY culprit?

And what about the crooks who have been gladly receiving the loot from Odebrecht - for years?

REF: ”Petrobras lost a total of US$12.8 billion”:

Are the crooks going to return ALL of it? WHEN?

I have met my evidently burden. Whereas, you are revealed to all a sundry out of your own mouth as a proven liar. So you can rattle on all wish with your biased opines. But you have still failed to prove that what I’ve stated is anything but true.

“House Republicans, defying their top leaders, voted Monday to significantly curtail the power of an independent ethics office set up in 2008 in the aftermath of corruption scandals that sent three members of Congress to jail.

The move to weaken the Office of Congressional Ethics was not public until late Monday. The full House is scheduled to vote Tuesday on the rules, which would take away both power and independence from an investigative body, and give lawmakers more control over internal inquiries”.

If this is possible in the USA; it is just a question of time when similar practices will take place in Brazil!

LONG LIVE [the so called] DEMOCRACY!
