IF the “admitted” bribes are = US$ 3.3 billion; in reality, the bribes may be at least thrice this amount and the profits will be minimum FIVE times the bribes - if not MORE. In comparison; if they have to pay just a few millions ONLY - as a “fine” [punishment?] - it's more than worthwhile for Odebrecht SA. Whoever said: “crime does not pay”?
