Portugal’s prosecutor general has ordered investigators to look into a request from Brazilian authorities for help with a probe into a scandal involving state-run oil company Petrobras.
A cartel of engineering firms, including Latin America’s giant Odebrecht SA, is accused of fixing prices and overcharging Petrobras in a scheme that allegedly helped finance the 2014 re-election campaign of President Dilma Rousseff.
In a statement on Tuesday, the prosecutor general’s office said the request for international law enforcement cooperation from Brazil was part of the “Car Wash” scandal, but its content and all subsequent investigations were covered by the secrecy of justice clause. It provided no further details.
