Abstract
In what is a rare case of effective cooperation between the Federal Police, the Federal prosecution service and the judiciary, Brazil has witnessed an impressive bribery and kickback investigation dubbed "Car Wash" (Lava Jato in Portuguese). The scandal has made newspaper headlines every single day since March 2014, when the police made the first arrests. The investigation has already identified 10 billion reais ($3.7 billion) of suspicious payments, over 40 people have been indicted, and around 40 politicians are about to be investigated by the Supreme Court, making the petróleo (the "big oily") Brazil's biggest corruption scandal until now.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
