Costa: Guerra asked for R$ 10 million to stop the CPI (Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry).

247 - Former Petrobras Supply Director Paulo Roberto Costa stated in his plea bargain testimony in the Lava Jato corruption investigation that former senator and former PSDB president Sérgio Guerra (PE), who died in 2014, asked for "a reward" to block a Petrobras CPI (Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry) in Congress.

In a video recorded by the Attorney General's Office, he says that the politician asked for a total of R$ 10 million in bribes, in a meeting that included the participation of current federal deputy Eduardo da Fonte (PP-PE). "'Service performed'. Yes. And the CPI was not carried out," Costa stated.

The payment was allegedly made through businessman Ildefonso Colares, of the construction company Queiroz Galvão.

In the 2010 elections, the Queiroz Galvão group donated a total of R$ 11,6 million to the PSDB party, the year in which Sérgio Guerra was the party's national president.
