Genu's plea bargain could sink the PP for good.
Former party advisor João Claudio Genu, who has already been convicted in the 'mensalão' scandal, is expected to reach a plea bargain agreement; if this is confirmed, the PP, which is already facing difficulties with the plea bargain made by the party's former president Pedro Corrêa, could be further harmed; the party has the most parliamentarians involved in the corruption and embezzlement scheme at Petrobras.
247 - Former PP advisor João Claudio Genu – convicted in Criminal Action 470 and arrested in the 29th phase of Operation Lava Jato – is expected to reach a plea bargain agreement.
If this is confirmed, the PP, which is already facing a political nightmare with the plea bargain made by former congressman and former party president Pedro Corrêa, could be further sacrificed.
The PP is the party with the most parliamentarians involved in the corruption and embezzlement scheme at Petrobras.
Genu was arrested by Lava Jato on May 23rd on suspicion of being one of the beneficiaries of the PP party in the Petrobras corruption scheme. He was mentioned in testimonies given by money launderer Alberto Youssef and PMDB operative Fernando Baiano.
