Lava Jato changes focus and targets Petrobras subsidiaries and politicians without parliamentary immunity.
The Lava Jato task force is expected to deepen its upcoming investigations into Petrobras subsidiaries, such as BR Distribuidora, and major infrastructure projects, such as the Belo Monte hydroelectric plant, as well as politicians who have lost their privileged legal status, such as former senators Romero Jucá, Edison Lobão, and Eunício Oliveira.
247 - The task force of Operation Lava Jato is expected to deepen its upcoming investigations into Petrobras subsidiaries, such as BR Distribuidora, and major infrastructure projects, such as the Belo Monte hydroelectric plant, as well as politicians who have lost their privileged legal status, such as former senators Romero Jucá, Edison Lobão, and Eunício Oliveira.
According to the newspaper The GlobeThe Lava Jato investigation should also focus on the R$50 million that the construction company Odebrecht allegedly offered to the PT (Workers' Party) through an account managed by former minister and whistleblower Guido Mantega.
The investigation into the case has been stalled since September of last year, when Supreme Federal Court (STF) Justice Dias Toffoli granted a request from the former minister's defense to have the case reviewed by the Electoral Court. "There is still much to be investigated," said prosecutor and task force member Roberson Pozzobon.
