OPERATION CAR WASH:
PETROBRAS
In 2014, the Federal Police of Brazil launched an extensive investigation into the state owned oil company, Petrobras. The investigation revealed that major Brazilian politicians from a variety of parties are implicated in foul play, including Presidents of the Republic, state senators, major corporation owners, and state governors.
This investigation so far has revealed that it is not only a Brazilian issue; 11 other countries, including many located in South America, are involved. Even more, millions of dollars of laundered funds are now unaccounted for.
How will the investigation unfold? What is the extent to which the Brazilian Government has been involved? Where is the money, and how will the people reap justice from their corrupted officials?
