New accusation encourages Cunha to implicate Temer.
Imprisoned in Curitiba and now the target of a new investigation in Brasília regarding alleged bribery payments to the PMDB party in exchange for large loans, in a joint operation with Geddel Vieira Lima, Eduardo Cunha has decided to wait until the end of the month to see if he has been abandoned by his allies. If there is no concrete action from the Presidential Palace, the former Speaker of the House may resort to an explosive plea bargain against Temer himself, who, as president of the PMDB, appointed Geddel to the corporate vice-presidency of Caixa Econômica Federal, where, according to the Federal Police, Geddel conditioned loans on bribes for the party.
247 - Operation Cui Bono, launched this Friday by the Federal Police, may be the missing piece that Eduardo Cunha, imprisoned in Curitiba as part of the Lava Jato investigation, needs to make a plea bargain.
Targeted by a new investigation in Brasília regarding alleged bribery payments to the PMDB party in exchange for large loans, in a joint operation with Geddel Vieira Lima, Eduardo Cunha decided to wait until the end of the month to find out if he has been abandoned by his allies, according to the political column in the Estado de S. Paulo newspaper.
If there is no concrete action from the Presidential Palace, the former Speaker of the House may resort to an explosive accusation against Temer himself, who, as president of the PMDB party, appointed Geddel to the corporate vice-presidency of Caixa Econômica Federal.
The game between the two worked more or less like this: as vice-president of Caixa Econômica Federal, Geddel released loans to large companies, and then Cunha would step in to collect bribes or electoral donations for Michel Temer's PMDB party (learn more). here).
