The Comptroller General of the Union (CGU) and the Attorney General of the Union (AGU) signed a leniency agreement with Camargo Corrêa, investigated by the Lava Jato. The company will have to pay the injured entities and the Union the amount of R $ 1,396 billion by January 2038.

The amount involves damage payments, illicit enrichment and fine under fraudulent contracts involving federal contracts.
