A few days later, there is a confession: the guilty plea given in the United States (it was decisive), so it is. Here the first thing that existed was not to look at Odebrecht but to the OAS, so the North American statement was the one that showed that Odebrecht was more committed and they only indicated that they were involved in two projects: an electric train and an interoceanic one, where the bribe they corrupted was no more than 30 million, but now we We know that there were many more,” he explained.
