Renato Duque, ex Petrobras Service Director, jailed months ago on charges of corruption at Petrobras, has decided to plea bargain for a lenient prison term. He follows ex Director, Paulo Roberto Costa, in turning evidence.
Duque was allegedly appointed Petrobras director by, then, Lula’s Chief of Staff and recently arrested, Jose Dirceu. He will most likely implicate senior members of the Worker’s Party, getting very close to Lula himself.
Needless to say, Brasilia is in a tizzy…more to come.
