Attorney General's Office: Padilha and Moreira received 13,3 million in bribes.
The Attorney General's Office recovered information from Odebrecht's Drousys system and claims to have evidence of bribe payments totaling R$ 13,3 million—in cash—to the Ministers of the Civil House, Eliseu Padilha, and the General Secretariat of the Presidency, Moreira Franco; the two are close friends and key ministers of Michel Temer; Padilha, in the data found in Drousys, is known as "Fodão," "Primo," and "Bicuira"; Moreira is known as "Angorá." The reports prepared by the PGR's Research and Analysis Secretariat, during Rodrigo Janot's tenure, served to corroborate what was stated by Odebrecht's whistleblowers.
247 - The Attorney General's Office (PGR) has recovered data from Odebrecht's Drousys system and produced reports alleging evidence of R$ 13,3 million in cash bribes paid to the Ministers of the Civil House, Eliseu Padilha, and the General Secretariat of the Presidency, Moreira Franco. The two are close friends and key ministers of President Michel Temer. All three work from the Planalto Palace. In the data found in Drousys, Padilha is referred to as "Fodão," "Primo," and "Bicuira." Moreira is "Angorá."
The reports prepared by the Research and Analysis Secretariat of the Attorney General's Office, under Rodrigo Janot's administration, served to corroborate what was said by the Odebrecht whistleblowers. The forensic analysis of the extracted data corroborated what the executives said in their testimonies, as reported in reports completed between May and the 8th of this month.
Drousys was a parallel information recording system used by the bribery department of the construction company. It was a way to guarantee information security. Data entered on a terminal in Brazil was recorded in a virtual environment hosted in Sweden. Two batches of hard drives, containing many terabytes of material, were delivered to the Attorney General's Office (PGR). Janot's administration finalized the forensic analysis of the first batch, from which the alleged evidence of money deliveries to Padilha and Moreira emerged. The second batch was left for analysis by Raquel Dodge's administration.
The most recent report produced by the Attorney General's Office (PGR) details how R$ 200 were delivered to Padilha, or “Fodão,” as he was known in the Drousys system. The money was taken to Porto Alegre, and the password for withdrawal was “comida” (food). A spreadsheet in the Odebrecht system, recovered by PGR experts, “shows that the R$ 200 were effectively paid by Odebrecht to the codename 'Fodão' on August 3, 2010, in the city of Porto Alegre,” as stated in the report. “Fodão,” according to the collaborators, is the codename for Eliseu Padilha.
A July report, also produced from Drousys, identifies Padilha as "Bicuira." "The spreadsheets found in the Drousys system reveal seven payments totaling R$ 1.490.909,00 in 2010 made by Odebrecht to 'Bicuira,' which, according to collaborators, is the codename for Eliseu Padilha," the document concludes. In the same month of July, the Attorney General's Office identified even older payments to Padilha, totaling R$ 612,6, which allegedly occurred in Porto Alegre, Rio de Janeiro, and São Paulo. In this case, the nickname used was the more well-known one: "Primo" (Cousin).
