The Workers ‘ Party (PT) faces to the complaint more ambitious than you have seen in these last and troubled years. A judge of Brasilia has been imputed to a good part of its political leadership, including former presidents Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Dilma Rousseff, accused of being the center of all the corruption of the oil company Petrobras. The PT is, as well, in the complaint, as the main author of the greater scheme of diversion and laundering of public funds into the recent history of Brazil, the case of Petrobras. And with such a wide accusation as a basis, the report calculates that the defendants received a total of 1,500 million reais (342 million euros) in bribes.
The event Petrobras is investigated from four years ago and has led to imprisonment in all the political parties veterans of Brazil, none sounded like that of Lula da Silva last April. On the former president weighed in addition to five other processes that still await judgment, some in the case of Petrobras. This complaint would be the sixth process, but an unusual one in so much that Lula is not the absolute protagonist. It is also his successor in the presidency, Dilma Rousseff, and the president of the PT, Gleisi Hoffman, along with the major barons of the match: Antonio Palocci, who was Finance minister with Lula (and which, like the former president, already İmajbet is incarcerated for other sentence) and another minister of Finance, Guido Mantega. Also are Paulo Bernardes and Edinho Silva, both former ministers of Communication, government of the PT, João Vaccari Neto, the extesorero of the party.
The complaint was filed in September of 2017 for the Attorney General’s office and was shutdown until the Supreme court decided, at the beginning of the month, you should stay with the judge Vallisney de Souza. The PT is now a white very different than it was then. The defeat in the presidential elections of last month, its worst result in more than 15 years, has led to the loss of a good part of the fiefdoms that made him one of the games most influential in all of Latin America. And it is yet to see the true extent of these bad times. The right-wing Jair Bolsonaro, who will assume the presidency from 1 January, has extended its nothing hidden hatred for the PT to the government that is riding (especially in Justice, where you have to judge Sérgio Moro, in charge of the ministry and of the Federal Police: Moro is the one who helped the imprisonment of Lula).
The PT has released a statement ensuring that this indictment is part of “the prosecution initiated against the president in 2016″. In another, Rousseff protest because ‘jampas was interrogated by the police or judicial authorities about the allegations that are made” and argues that the judge’s decision is based on “in a clear attempt to criminalize the PT”.
