Machado wants to detail the monthly payments scandal that elected Aécio president of the Chamber of Deputies.
Former Transpetro president Sérgio Machado is expected to hand over to the Attorney General's Office a list with the 50 names of federal deputies for whom he claims to have raised campaign money in 1998, in exchange for votes to elect current Senator Aécio Neves as President of the Chamber of Deputies in 2001.
247 - Former Transpetro president Sérgio Machado is expected to submit a supplement to his plea bargain testimony to the Attorney General's Office as part of Operation Lava Jato.
The supplement will include a list with the 50 names of federal deputies for whom Machado claims to have raised campaign money in 1998, in exchange for votes to elect current Senator Aécio Neves as President of the Chamber of Deputies in 2001. This information comes from columnist Lauro Jardim of Globo.
In June of this year, Machado's testimony came to light, in which he stated that the PSDB senator, one of the main proponents of Dilma Rousseff's impeachment, had received R$ 1 million in cash from a fund he created along with Machado and the then-president of the PSDB, Senator Teotonio Vilela, in order to finance the PSDB caucus in the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate.
The plan was "to elect the largest possible federal delegation to the Chamber so that they could make Aécio Neves' candidacy for president of the House viable in the year 2000." The largest share of the approximately R$ 7 million raised went to Aécio, according to Machado (read more).
