Cunha will confirm that he knows a lobbyist linked to the PMDB.

The ousted congressman and former Speaker of the House, Eduardo Cunha, told associates that he will deny the version of events given by lobbyist João Henriques, linked to the PMDB party, that the two do not know each other. In his testimony to Judge Sérgio Moro, Henriques said: "I don't know Eduardo Cunha," and recounted that his relationship within the party was with the late former congressman Fernando Diniz, and later with his son, Felipi Diniz. Cunha's willingness to act will reinforce the version of events given by Odebrecht executive Marcio Faria, who, in his plea bargain testimony, described a meeting attended by President Michel Temer, Cunha, and Henriques to solicit money from the company through the PMDB party.
