Former Federal Police director Leandro Daiello assures that the agency possesses enough material to carry out at least another 5 years of operations like Lava Jato in Brazil. However, he warned that changes are necessary in the political sphere for the country to see results; "This business isn't going to stop. What the police had in terms of paper and digital data when I left was enough for four or five years of operations," he stated.
Sputnik - Former Federal Police director Leandro Daiello asserts that the agency possesses sufficient resources to conduct at least another five years of operations similar to Lava Jato in Brazil. However, he warned that political changes are necessary for the country to see results.
"This business isn't going to stop. The amount of paper and digital data the police had when I left was enough for four or five years of operations," Daiello stated in an interview with the newspaper O Estado de S. Paulo, published this Monday.
"When I left, we had a modernization and computerization project for new areas. The Atlas system has an absurd processing capacity. What a police officer used to take 7 or 8 days to do, he now does in a minute. It takes longer to print than to process," he added.
Director of the Federal Police between 2011 and 2017, he retired from his public career and took a position in the private sector, where he promises to continue working to combat corruption. Acknowledging that Lava Jato exposed how companies should not behave, Daiello believes that Brazil needs to go further.
"Brazil has failed to address the root causes, which would be political reform. I never authorized anyone to enter the discussion about political reform because it was not the Federal Police's place to say that reform is a strategy to combat corruption," he emphasized.
"If there is no political reform, the machine will continue to generate [corruption]. The way politics is played today, it won't survive. The corruption factory is open. Electoral donations are not ideological, they are strategic," warned the former director of the corporation.
