Imprisoned defendants in the Lava Jato corruption scandal reveal behind-the-scenes details in books.
Some convicts, such as José Dirceu and Paulo Roberto Costa, have used their free time in prison to write about prison life and the behind-the-scenes workings of the Petrobras corruption scheme, as well as their perspective on the investigation, as is the case with the former director of the state-owned company.
247 - Some defendants arrested in Operation Lava Jato have been using their free time in jail to write books.
José Dirceu is working on an autobiography, focusing more on his daily life in prison. Dirceu is imprisoned at the Medical Penal Complex in São José dos Pinhais, in the metropolitan region of Curitiba, Paraná.
"He's writing. He's going to talk about everything. I'm not going to say anything so as not to spoil the surprise," said his lawyer, Roberto Podval.
Paulo Roberto Costa, former director of Petrobras and the first whistleblower in the Lava Jato corruption scandal, recounts the behind-the-scenes workings of the corruption scheme at Petrobras and offers his perspective on the investigation.
Marcelo Odebrecht also keeps a diary, but there is no news that it might become a book.
