Mello Franco: This is the first time a leak has derailed a plea bargain.
"There are several theories circulating, but none of them can circumvent a concrete fact. This is the first time that the leaking of information has been used as a reason to derail a plea bargain. The accusations against Delcídio do Amaral, Sérgio Machado, and Ricardo Pessoa flowed freely before the three escaped prison," says columnist Bernardo Mello Franco, who finds it strange that the plea bargain of Léo Pinheiro, from OAS, was suspended by the Public Prosecutor's Office.
247 - After a flood of leaks from the Lava Jato plea bargains, columnist Bernardo Mello Franco finds it strange that only one, that of Léo Pinheiro of OAS, has been suspended, in the article. First time.
"There are several theories circulating, but none of them can circumvent a concrete fact. This is the first time that the leaking of information has been used as a reason to derail a plea bargain. The accusations against Delcídio do Amaral, Sérgio Machado, and Ricardo Pessoa flowed freely before the three escaped prison," he says.
Pinheiro reported bribes paid to people linked to Senator Aécio Neves (PSDB-MG) in the construction of the Administrative City of Belo Horizonte (read here).
