Odebrecht's accusations only include attachments concerning politicians from the PMDB party.

The information provided in his plea bargain by businessman Marcelo Odebrecht to prosecutors within the scope of Operation Lava Jato has already produced approximately 30 annexes, some containing only PMDB politicians regarding the receipt of bribes from the corruption scheme that affected Petrobras; in the documents summarized by his lawyers to be delivered to the prosecutors, the former president of the construction company points to off-the-books payments and Odebrecht's accounting documents which, he says, can prove the illicit nature of the funds transferred.

247 - The information provided in his plea bargain by businessman Marcelo Odebrecht to prosecutors as part of Operation Lava Jato has already yielded approximately 30 annexes, some containing only accounts from PMDB politicians regarding the receipt of bribes from the corruption scheme that affected Petrobras.

In the documents summarized by the lawyers to be delivered to the prosecutors, the former president of the construction company points to off-the-books payments and accounting documents from Odebrecht that, he says, can prove the illicit nature of the funds transferred and the involvement of politicians.

The material from the structural operations sector, the 'bribery department', will be cross-referenced with information provided by Marcelo and other potential Odebrecht whistleblowers.

According to a publication by Valor PRO, however, the businessman is not expected to give any more testimony in the context of Lava Jato this week, because investigators are still evaluating the 'quality' of the information provided so far.
