Operation Carwash: A Worldwide Corruption Scandal Made in Brazil (2017) - full transcript
Based on the true story of Operation Carwash, the largest and most successful corruption investigation ever seen in Brazil, "No One is Above the Law" tells, through the eyes of Detective Investigator Ivan, the story of how he and his team at the Brazilian Federal Police, working with the Brazilian Federal Attorneys were able to reveal and dismantle an intricate scheme of money laundering, graft, theft, corruption and bribery involving executives at Petrobrás, (the Brazilian National Oil Company), government contractors, political parties, and politicians at all levels of government - including both houses of congress, cabinet secretaries, and the current and former presidents of Brazil. Exciting and action packed, the movie reveals unbelievable details of the conflicts and dangers faced by the investigators, the roadblocks thrown to thwart the operation, and the crucial role of the Federal Judge who withstood the greatest of pressures to keep the politicians from destroying their case and coming away scott free. We follow Ivan and his team through the step-by-step investigative process that transformed what started as an investigation on drug dealers and money launderers into a movement to combat the backbone of corruption in the country, leading straight to the doorstep of the most powerful politician in the country - the ex-President Luís Inácio "Lula" da Silva. This is the story of men and women fighting against a corrupt system and trying to prove that indeed, no one is above the law.
- The target is home, Chief.
Lights out, and it's been quiet
since last night.
Please let me know immediately
ifanything strange comes up.
-Right.
- Fuck, we've lost Youssef.
Don't worry. We'llkeep
an eye on this, Chief.
-Talk to me, 16. Anything?
- No, Chief.
-Everything quiet at ICV HQ.
- Okay, good.

- Still nothing?
- Nothing.
-How's it going, Bia?
- Still the same.
- Anything come up?
- Not yet.
I can't believe
Alberto Yousseffound out.
Worst thing is to think of
him Iaughing at us.
It'd be much worse ifallofthem
found out.
Well, if we've got a Ieak,
it didn't reach Chater.
- Things are pretty normal.
- They're calling.
- Okay, I'II call you back.
- Ivan?
I'm off to Sáo Luís.
You guys find him?
- We can't zero in any further.
- He's in the Lighthouse District,
but we can't Iocate the hotel.
We have a plainclothes team,
so they can,t be identified.
- Got it.
I need a team
at each hotel.
- Let me call the Director General.
- Hold on, I know Sáo Luís.
Ivan, AIberto Youssef.
There are only 3 hotels where he would be.
Edu, Iet me see the hotels.
Try this one.
Luzeiros Hotel,
good evening.
Is Mr. AIberto Youssef
registered?
Hold on please.
Hello.
- Goddamn it!
- Hello?
- That was him.
- Why'd they put me through?
I just wanted to know
if he was there, damn it!
It's okay, Julio. No way he'II
know who called.
So? He'II know
something's wrong.
This operation's dead!
Let's go!
- He's not moving.
- Julio, update the address.
Because this piece of shit
isn't going anywhere.
- Yes?

Great, thanks.

Goddamn it!
OPERATION CAR WASH
A WORLDWIDE SCANDAL MADE IN BRAZIL
Naturally, our story
doesn't begin here.
Like smallpox
and tuberculosis,
corruption came to Brazil
on the first sailboats.
From the very beginning,
Portugalsent Brazil
a governor
already convicted
ofembezzlement
In 1650, FatherAntonio Vieira
said,
"The Portuguese
do not want our good.
They want our goods."
Brazilwood, slaves,
gold, land,
diamonds, taxes,
iron, coffee...
Everything and everyone
was robbed or stolen.
From Viscount ofMaua's
telegraphic submarine cable
to Vargas'sea ofmud.
An endless sea ofcorruption.
Cassava, BNH, Sociallnsurance,
"Parabolica''...
I don't have any scruples.
Be aware ofthat.?
SUDAM, SUDENE, Anaconda...
$30,000 is a lot ofmoney.
"Propinoduto'', Bingo,
Elba Fiat...
I vote for dignity!
Yes!
Budget "dwarves'', Bloodsuckers,
Allowances, Dominoes, NGOs...
Cash in underwear
and even the Whistle.
Banestado, where we met,
a dead-end case that
dismantled our team.
Beacon Hill, Sand Castle,
Jackal, Satyagraha,
"Mensalinho'', Minas "Mensalao'',
and the biggest ofall.
A sophisticated
criminal organization,
divided into areas
of activity,
and professionally structured
to commit crimes
such as embezzlement,
money Iaundering,
active corruption,
fraudulent management
and many other types
of fraud.
The main culprit in ofall this?
The pen.
For as long as someone gets to hold
the pen, there will be corruption.
Power always rests
with those who appoint.
Those who sign the dotted line.
For bad or for good.
You won't regret this.
We're going to rebuild Curitiba.
Look, Boss.
It's only because of you guys.
Do you know who you want
to head the Financial Crimes unit?
It's going to require hard work,
so we need
someone Ievel-headed.
What's wrong with you?
Can't you count to 1 5?
You had 1 5 days
to conclude the investigation
and you're behind schedule?
How could you?
- Can I say something?
- PIease don't.
Don't even try.
There's no explanation.
An important case,
and my prisoner is on the Ioose
free to intimidate witnesses,
destroy evidences,
and interfere with proceedings
because you failed to meet
your fucking deadline!
Unbelievable.
Thanks, Ivan.
But don't waste time on me.
I accepted their invitation,
and I'm going to Sao Paulo.
The Brazilian financial center,
you know.
Just think about it.
You don't have to say no yet.
There's nothing
to think about.
I don't want to put
myself through it again.
We arrest, they release.
And our case is closed
due to red tape or a change in who's
in power. I don't want that anymore!
I see, Bia.
But it's different now.
We're forming
a very reliable team.
Director General Rodrigo,
Antenor, and me.
So you think it's going to be
totally different this time.
Well, no. We won't become
England overnight.
- So, why did you say yes?
- We're not gonna change Brazil,
but there's always
something we can do, right?
And that's why we need
our "generala".
- Our "generala"?
- Yeah, to organize the troops.
- Are you calling me bossy?
- Ma'am, no, Ma'am!
I am not a "generala".
That word doesn't even exist.
Ma'am, yes, Ma'am.
There's gotta be thousands of cases
that haven't moved since I Ieft.
Who's going to clean it all up?
On one condition.
Do you really think
you can control him?
"Control" is a strong word,
but...
Julio's the only
one who can put this in order.
Besides, Bia will only accept our offer
if she can bring him.
I'II see you Iater.
BRAZILIAN FEDERAL POLICE
BUREAU
I told Ivan that Julio's
the only guy who can clean this mess.
Actually, she said
"Julio, the Nutcase".
Oh, yeah.
Julio, the Nutcase, sorry.
- I had to get back.
- Now, Julio. How's your mother?
- She starts chemo on Thursday.
- If you need time to adjust...
These cases have
been here for years.
- No, I need to work.
- Whoa!
How did you wind up
in this dump?
I'm glad you're here.
Jesus...
We must be masochists, Julio.
We pound the pavement,
until we're beat,
and we end up back
to where we started.
Do you ever wonder
why we do this?
- Endorphins?
- I didn't mean jogging, Julio.
I know.
For me, endorphins
come from eating well, traveling...
and from when we arrest
one of those assholes.
For me, it's from
working with you.
Hey come back here!
WASHINGTON LUIZ HIGHWAY
- Copy that. TR-01 , do you copy?
- Copy.
Let him stay put.
I'm almost there!
Zero One copy, moving in.
BTR-02, affirmative.
Chopper, turn around!
Right in front ofyou.
Careful, suspect is armed.
Our story only exists
because a truck
loaded with hearts ofpalm
led us to a drug dealer
who laundered his money
with a guy who owned
a gas station
that Julio
was investigating.
The gas station money launderer
led us to another launderer,
who was a lover and an associate
ofNelma Kodama,
aka Grand Dame
ofthe Currency Exchange.
Nelma was also a lover and associate
ofAlberto Youssef,
the biggest black-market
money man in Brazil.
I'II bring your present.
Youssefhad been arrested once,
but was released
because ofa plea bargain,
where he agreed to become state's witness
and in which he only snitched
on his competitors.
If you need my help,
we're friends.
I can give you all their names.
I overturn
Alberto Youssef's sentence
on the condition
that he never again
works
as a black-market trader,
whether in the formal
or informalmarket.
ARANA FEDERAL UNIVERSITY INTERNATIONA
LAW, PROF. JUDGE SÉRGIO MORO
Gradually, people
Iost interest in the proceedings,
for their own Iives started being affected.
This, in turn, made Operation
CIean Hands investigators
Iose public support.
Next class, I want an essay
explaining how the Iaws
that were passed by
the Italian Parliament
made it impossible for the Prosecutors
to do their job.
Good day, everyone.
Thank you.
What's so urgent you guys
had to come here to talk to me?
We need a wiretap
on AIberto Youssef.
Youssef? Why?
Is he in breach of his agreement?
With his same old scam.
He must think we're idiots.
Send me the case files.
I'II analyze them.
Your Honor, it's clean cut.
We have invoices, deposits...
Like I said, send me the files.
I'II take a Iook at them
and say yes or no.
Thank you, Commissioners.
What should I call it?
I don't know, Bia.
He's Iinked to money Iaundering,
owns a gas station...
We had no clue that we had started
the largest anti-corruption
operation in Brazil's history.
CAR WASH
Among millions ofblue folders,
Julio, the Nutcase, discovered
a black market network
with traffickers and smugglers.
This is it.
You guys thought we'd get nowhere?
We have fucking Youssef again.
When the operation
was almost ready,
we got a Christmas present.
CHRISTMAS, 201 3
Marcos, come over here.
Let me get this, honey.
- Where's Julio?
- I'II go get him.
- Let me help you.
- AIright.
PLEASE FIND CAR PHOTOS
NEW CAR DEALER INVOICE
TO PAULO ROBERTO COSTA
Did you win the Iottery?
Are you buying this fancy car?
On a Federal Police paycheck?
Dream on.
I thought it was
my Christmas gift.
I should get you
broadband for Christmas.
- Or is it too fancy for you?
- It's the way we Iike it.
We come here to talk to each other.
You guys ever heard
of a Paulo Roberto Costa?
- Ítalo?
- Ítalo will coordinate
the task force from The Public
Prosecutor's Office.
- Pedro Henrique...
- I'm the voice of experience.
Well, Happy New Year.
- Did you ever hear of him?
- Go ahead, tell us.
- Check this out.
- What's going on?
I found an invoice for a Land Rover
paid for by Youssef
but the car's registered
to Paulo Roberto Costa.
He used to be a Petrobras Director,
and now he owns a consulting firm.
Hey check out
this Land Rover.
It was a present.
I never got a present Iike this.
It comes with a DVD player,
Ieather seats
and a Search Warrant.
The operation
was complete.
With 81 Warrants for Search and Seizures
18 Preventive Arrests,
ten Temporary Custody
and 19 detentions for questioning.
KICKOFF NIGHT OF STAGE 1
1 7 MARCH, 201 4
Something had to go wrong.
Youssef's number
appeared in Sáo Luís.
- What do you mean, Sao Luís?
- Maranháo, Julio. He's gone.
Shit!
Ivan, we Iost him.
He was here
and now he's gone.
- Goddamn it!
- Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Relax!
We're gonna catch him.
What do we do now?
- What do you mean?
We find him!
Listen, I know everyone's upset,
but he's gone!
I understand,
butyou know he's the linchpin...
We have to catch him.
You hear me?
- Stop right there!
- Talk to me.
What's going on there?
Stop, motherfucker!
Shit.
- To the airport, now.
- Stop! Don't move!
Okay, pal.
Just don't kill me.
Federal Police.
You're under arrest.
Fuck yeah!
At Iast. Jeez!
The operation was saved.
After 10 years,
he was back in our hands.
Ivan!
You really packed on the pounds!
Used to be a Iadies' man,
now you Iook Iike Marlon Brando.
- See? Six pack.
- Youssef... Let's go.
The money launderers
were injail,
but we had no idea the best
was yet to come.
- Yes, Rico?
- That man from Petrobras.
Someone went into his office
and made offwith a lot ofstuff.
- What? How?
- We made a mistake.
While we were
searching the house,
his daughter and son-in-Iaw
came here and cleaned up.
Can you prove
it was his family?
Can I prove it?
We found US$500 thousand
at the house.
And now the family makes off
with the documents.
No way!
"They must think we're idiots."
STAGE 2
PAULO ROBERTO COSTA'S PLACE
You've got to be kidding me!
Second time three days!
Okay, I've got it.
You searched my daughters'
house too?
- Why? What for?
- You know why, Ma'am.
My Iawyer wants to know
if you guys have an arrest warrant.
- No, wait, calm down!
- Sit down, Mrs. Costa.
- Am I going to jail, too?
- No, Ma'am. You're not.
You guys don't know
who you're messing with.
Commissioner, just a few words
please?
Will Youssef's arrest annul
his plea bargain
-regarding the Banestado Case?
- That's up to the courts,
but we believe he's violated
the terms of the agreement.
I'm Juliana, Reporter
at 720 Degrees blog.
Would you Iike to comment
on the arrest
of Paulo Roberto Costa, the
Petrobras Time-Bomb?
I don't know anything about
a Time-Bomb.
What about the involvement
of members of congress?
Their cases go directly to the Supreme Court.
"Officeholder's Privileged Jurisdiction".
Mr. Commissioner, please!

MO CONSULTANCY SERVICES
REVENUES FROM
CONTRACTOR GROUP CAMARGO CORREA
Camargo Corréa got an overpriced
contract with Petrobras
to build a refinery.
They then made transfers
to Youssef's business accounts.
The money from Youssef's
accounts
paid Paulo Roberto Costa's
companies.
Cash smuggling, corruption,
kickback, racketeering...
Paulo Roberto Costa's companies
use Youssef's
to send money overseas.
Money Smuggling.
- That's a Iot of money.
- Wait a minute, Julio.
You're saying that Costa
signs Petrobras' contract
with the construction company.
The company pays Youssef.
Youssef pays Costa,
who takes the opportunity
to send money abroad?
Just Iike that?
Julio, this is way bigger
than the money Iaunderers.
I asked the Federal Auditors Office
to Iook into this contract.
The refinery cost five times
the estimated value.
That's our evidence, Ivan.
One of Brazil's
Iargest contractors
is corrupting Petrobras.
These guys are so arrogant,
they didn't even try to hide it.
What if Paulo Roberto Costa
spills the beans?
What do you have in mind?
PIea bargain?
We could build a case using
only the documents.
But he can give us everything.
Banks, accounts, people...
I have nothing to say.
We're just trying to understand
the quid pro quo.
I'm innocent.
You are a bunch of torturers
who think the
Dictatorship is back.
I have absolutely nothing
to say.
JUSTICE ORDERS RELEASE
OF PERSONS IN CUSTODY
AND CLAIMS THE CASE SHOULD
GO TO THE SUPREME COURT
- Release all of them?
- AII of them, every single one.
Mr. Paulo Costa filed
a writ of habeas corpus,
invoking "Officeholder Jurisdiction"
and they all followed suit.
- Chater, Youssef...
- But how did he get it?
Is he a member of Congress?
A Senator?
I thought only Cabinet members,
Senators and Presidents
had "Officeholder Jurisdiction".
Has the Iaw changed overnight?
He argued that because
there are Congressmen involved
the whole case must go
to the Supreme Court.
If this case goes Supreme Court, it dies,
we're screwed.
Case closed.
- The system is built to fail.
- So, what do we do, Ivan?
The Supreme Court has spoken,
Judge Moro will sign the release forms,
and we'II have to obey.
But, Dad, everybody's
staying until 2 a.m.
Why do I need to get home
by midnight?
Think of it Iike this:
I'm the Iower court.
Your mother
is the superior court.
I could never revert
your mother's decision.
Seriously, you always
make the same joke.
- Because it's a good one.
- Talk to her. PIease.
You know if I Ieave early
I've got no chance with Priscilla.
You wanna stay until 2? Okay.
Now... shall we?
- Wait for me in the car.
- Say goodbye to your dad.
- See ya!
- Oh, Honey.
Do you know
how you're going to respond?

Letting them all walk free
would,ve been a disaster.
And that,s when thejudge
saved the operation.
Actually, thejudge, and the truck
fullofhearts ofpalm.
Very politely, he reminded
the Supreme Courtjustices
that letting everybody walk
would free money launderers
and an international
drug dealer.
Allofthem,
flight risks.
Operation Car Wash
includes a criminalindictment
based upon the apprehension
of 1,500 lbs ofcocaine.
I hereby callforyour guidance
on the extent ofyour decision.
The Supreme court reconsidered
and the others
remained behind bars.
But Paulo Roberto Costa
was freed.
- Your comments please?
What they're doing is absurd.
This is torture.
- Now I need to clear my name.
- Is anyone else involved?
This whole thing sucks!
What we do is useless!
That's the way things
go in this damn country!
It always has,
and always will be Iike this
when you mess with someone
at the top!
You really think a mere
Director at Petrobras
-calls the shots?
- If there's a turtle up a tree...
someone had to put it there.
Wanna get to the criminal?
Follow the money.
Wanna get to the big boss?
Follow the pen!
I found the money
and I found the pen.
It signed his release papers.
Come on, Bia, don't say that.
You can't give up now.
You're the only hope
we've got.
-Don't be silly.
- Think of the advantages.
You could visit me
someplace exotic.
First of all, Oxford and Stanford
are not exotic places.
PIus, if you're counting on me
to calm you down, forget it.
- How's your mother doing?
- Hanging in there.
- Coming here helped a Iot.
- Willyou be back tomorrow?
- Julio, are you there?
- I'II have to call you back.
The Pasadena refinery
Petrobras is not
a criminalcorporation,
and it does not employ
crooks.
It's important to clarify
that Petrobras
isn,t a storefront for corruption!
Son of a bitch!
Hey, Julio.
- What 's wrong, son?
- I feel Iike I'm punching a wall.
We arrest
they acquit...
You know what?
I'm going to finish my PhD,
spend more time with mom...
This whole thing is draining, you know?
Keep punching.
It'II collapse sooner or Iater.
- Hey what've you got there?
- Busted!
Just one.
PAULO ROBERTO COSTA'S COUNTRY
HOME, ITAIPAVA A FEW DAYS LATER
If he hid something,
it has to be here.
We dug through everything
and found nothing.
What makes you think
there's anything here?
I just know, Bia.
There's got to be something.
If your instinct says so...
okay, we'II keep Iooking.
I could even call
other detectives to help.
I don't think we need them.
There's only one thing
I'd Iike to confirm, Mrs...
- Joana.
- Are you sure you haven't seen
anything unusual around here?
You can tell us.
I guarantee nothing bad
will happen to you.
We were told they
brought documents
to hide here.
No one hid anything here,
Sir.
Mrs. Costa burned them
in the barbecue grill. Same as always.
While we searched for the pens,
we followed the money.
That bank account
Julio discovered,
took us from Costa,s country house
to Switzerland.
SWISS PROSECUTOR'S OFFICE
BERN, SWITZERLAND
I'II be right back.
Hello.
- We have it all, Julio.
- AII what"?
Everything. Costa's accounts,
his family's accounts
and his business accounts
in Switzerland, we got it all.
-$23 million USD!
-23 million dollars?
I hearyou, Bia.
Have a good trip.
Hey, Buddy! Joining us for
the World Cup?
Did you bring the cards?
Come on, come on!
Fingers crossed.
We can still win this match!
Come on, Paulo! We can do it! No giving up!
GERMANY 6 x BRAZIL 0.
I am a proud Brazilian
and I love my country
Be strong, Paulo.
Chin up, okay?
Mom, Iet me talk to him.
Dad, you gotta do what's
best for us. For allofus.
Yo, Paulo!
You're a celebrity! You're on TV again!
The FederalPolice carried out
search and seizure warrants
at 10 companies
connected to Petrobras'
ex-Director
Paulo Costa and his family.
This is Stage 6
of Operation Car Wash,
conducted by the FederalPolice
,
investigating
the misappropriation
ofover 10 billion dollars,
managed by Paulo Costa
and Alberto Youssef.
Mom, Joao and I
are going to jail, Dad.
I can't go to jail.
I can't do it.
You have to fix this.
- Hm-hm.
RECORDING
My family walks away scott free?
That's right.
And you'II be under house arrest.
- Where should I start?
- From the beginning.
AIright, you must understand
that Brazil's been corrupt
from the beginning.
When John VI of Portugal
transferred the court to Brazil,
he stayed
with the slave merchants.
The slave merchants
controlled public Iife.
They did whatever they wanted
to the Monarchy.
Can we cut the crap?
No one's here
for a History Iesson.
Anyway, my point being...
The slave merchants of Brazil today
are the giant contractors.
Listen carefully.
Few companies can handle jobs
of the size Petrobras needs.
Refineries, oil rigs,
power plants. Just a handful of companies.
And they all banded together to decide which
contractor is gonna be awarded which job.
So what is it?
A Cartel!
They would overcharge
each job by 1 5 to 20 percent.
Hundreds of millions of dollars
per job.
Paulo Roberto
talked about everything.
A "club'' of 11 companies
organized like a soccer league.
And with regulations.
They would pay bribes
to Youssef (Worker's Party), Fernando
Baiano (Democratic Movement Party),
and Vaccari (Worker's Party).
Who in turn would pay off,
Each of us director
depending on who signed contract.
- How much was the pay off?
- About three percent.
Petrobras directors,
appointed by politicians,
received kickbacks
in exchange for approvingjobs.
So, three percent
above the budget
were distributed among
public officials, correct?
- Correct.
- And Petrobras directors
received a percentage
of that, too.
At the Services Division,
out of the three percent paid off,
two percent
went to the Worker's Party (PT).
So the Workers' Party was paid off
at Exploration and Production Division,
at Gas and Energy Division,
and at the Services Division.
The International Division director was
appointed by the Democratic Movement Party.
Therefore, the Democratic Movement
got a slice of the money,
and the Progressive Party
got its part as well.
Each division diverted funds to the political
parties and these parties appointed the directors
- Guys, that was incredible!
- For the first time,
we have someone
tell us every detail.
Aren't you excited about it,
Ivan?
Yeah, it's starting to get
interesting.
Starting?
You're a piece of work.
- Commissioner!
- Could you please Iet us know
which names Paulo Costa mentioned
in his plea bargain?
EIected officials,
are under Supreme Court jurisdiction,
and the details of the plea bargain
only when the court unseals the record.
Are there many
politicians involved?
We're Ieaving for Iunch.
We'II talk when we get back.
Commissioner, why are you
trying to destroy the Workers party?
- What?
- With only a month before
the presidential elections,
don't you think it's an abuse of power
to try and influence
the outcome?
Juliana, we're not
investigating a party.
We're investigating facts,
not people.
So you're saying that, coincidently,
all this just happened to come to Iight
just before the elections.
Seriously?
Yes, that's how it happened.
So that's what I'm saying.
You have no right
to influence an election!
We couldn't run
away from the facts.
Ifwe went too fast,
they would say
we were favoring PSDB.
Ifwe went too slowly,
they'd say we were favoring PT.
It's only political, because
politicians are doing the stealing!
They wouldn't have to go to jail
if they stopped stealing money.
How many of these cases
were not annulled, Julio?
The guy spilled the beans!
Accounts, documents...
We have all evidences!
Ivan, for Christ's sake!
We can't use anything
that Costa said.
- What do you mean?
- Ivan's right.
We have to wait until the Supreme
Court approves the plea bargain.
Besides what Costa told us,
Who are we ready to move on?
Seven contractors
their owners, and top executives,
AII of them, except for the Iargest
Andrade Gutierrez and Odebrecht.
Their scheme is more complex.
Everything is hidden overseas.
Guys, fuck the contractors.
Who's the big boss?
Who put the turtle up the tree?
Brazilians went to bed
with Rousseff's reelection.
Ten days later,
they would wake us up.
As you all know,
today the Federal Police
Iaunches Stage 7
of Operation Car Wash,
in conjunction with the Federal
Prosecutors Office and the IRS.
More details
will be given now
by the coordinator
of the operation, Commissioner Ivan Romano.
Good morning.
I'm going to give you
some very interesting
figures.
We had 300 agents in today's
operation and 50 IRS officials.
Eighty-five Court orders,
six preventive detentions,
and 21 temporary detentions.
9 detentions for questioning
and 49 seizure and search
warrants.
We went to the largest
contractors in Brazil
and took allofthem
by surprise.
Executives based in Rio de Janeiro
were arrested in Sáo Paulo,
and executives from Sáo Paulo
were arrested in Rio.
A few executives tried to hide.
Others tried to escape.
And some ofthem
came in their ownjets
to turn themselves in.
How can they do that, huh?
What kind of country is this?
We,d gone where no one
ever went before
We're talking about seven
companies
that with Petrobras alone,
manage contracts
of about R$ 59 billion, (USD 1 9 Billion)
which are being investigated by the
- IRS and by the Federal Prosecutor's Office.
- PIease Mr. Romano.
- Did you say R$ 59 million (USD 1 9 million)?
- No, I said billion.
- Commissioner, "M" or "B"?
- B, I said billion.
Could you please...?
You're not in a position
to demand.
- I cannot demand?
- No, you cannot demand!
- What the hell's going on here?
- Every attorney brought treats.
French bottled mineral water.
Belgian chocolate, cheese,
-apricot jam, white wine...
- No, you Iisten to me!
My client has rights!
And this arrest is absurd!
Absurd is what you guys
are doing!
- This is not your home!
- Mr. Commissioner, please.
My client cannot accept
this situation.
- None of them!!
- PIease calm down!
I'II see that they each will get
a blanket, a pillow and sheets.
- And that's all?
- What's your name, Counsellor?
- Counsellor Carmen.
- PIus cookies.
- Now get this out of here. Excuse me.
- What do we do with all this?
Call Charity Services.
They'II Iove it.
- You got to be kidding me.
- You don't find this amusing?
The heads of these companies should
represente the best of Brazil.
There's nothing amusing
about it.
HOLDING CELLS
NO ELECTRONIC DEVICES ALLOWED
For the first time, we saw the high and mighty,
people who thought themselves untouchable,
paying for their crimes.
Welcome.
Room number 1 54 is vacant.
Poker game after Iunch,
okay?
We knew
it wouldn't end there.
Months later we would discover
that one day after the arrests,
people were trying
to shut the operation.
People inside the FederalPolice,
who had worked with us foryears,
tryied to frame us
with false documents and allegations.
The same old strategy.
Ifyou can't attack the evidence,
attack
the investigation.
Who, exactly,
knew what was going on?
The Presidency.
The Presidency knew everything.
Previously, we had come
close to the top.
But now, hundreds ofterabytes
ofinformation
led us to increasingly
strong clues.
- Check this out. So weird.
- What is?
He travels to the Dominican
Republic to deliver a speech.
The Dominican Republic
hires Odebrecht for a project,
and the Brazilian Government Development
Bank subsidizes the construction.
Then he travels to Angola.
Angola hires Odebrecht
to construct a power plant.
And the Development Bank also
subsidizes the construction.
Then in Cuba...
Same thing in Cuba.
These guys don't hand out
receipts for kickbacks.
- What concrete evidence do you actually have?
- We have money sent to his Institute.
Directors from the Institute
dealing with the contractors.
But can you connect them directly
to the trips?
Directly, not yet,
but we're connecting the dots.
There's US$200 million the Petrobras
manager Sent to the Worker's Party.
- But that was to the Party Treasurer.
- Yeah, I know.
But we're getting closer
to the Big Boss.
Are we sure it's him?
- Of course! Who else would it be?
- I don't know.
Until we can prove it,
We don't know anything.
The only thing we knew for sure was that
Odebrecht, the Iargest of all constructors
was the crownjewel.
And Marcelo Odebrecht was the prince
among the contractors.
A man prepared since childhood
to be the king ofBrazil.
The man who could tell us
who could put the turtle up the tree.
Their system was impossible
to understand.
Companies within shellcompanies
that owned other shellcompanies
within other companies.
But now we had an army
to crack their system.
Can you explain the meeting?
I met Freiburghous and AIexandrino
to handle the Braskem contract.
Alexandrino was Odebrecht's
Director oflnstitutionalAffairs,
and Braskem was
the petrochemicalarm.
He'd send AIexandrino
the accounts-numbers guy.
And AIexandrino took care
of the money distribution.
- You mean the kickback money.
- That's right, the kickback money.
- So there was a cartel?
- Yes, there was a cartel.
Odebrecht was right
in the middle of it.
Were you aware that Odebrecht
was the head of the cartel?
Odebrecht? Absolutely.
Youssef tried
to intimidate me,
not to even submit a bid
for a public contract
because it was earmarked for
Odebrecht.
SWISS PROSECUTOR'S OFFICE
Documents, text messages,
balance sheets,
shellcompanies,
accounts numbers...
Everything we needed
to get the "prince''.
The name ofthe operation
alluded to the fact...
STAGE 1 4-"ERGA OMNES"
that no one is above the Law.
Good morning. We have
a search warrant.
Do you really need weapons?
My kids are home.
Hold this please.
Look into this cabinet.
Careful with my furniture,
and my rugs too.
- I built this place.
- It's a beautiful home.
- Stay here. I'II tell my wife.
- Perhaps you don't get it,
but we have a search warrant.
We want everyone in the Iiving room,
and you're not going anywhere
without one of us.
- Got it.
- Hand me your phone please.
- It's not here. I'II get it.
- I'II go with you.
Search everything.
Living room, kitchen,
bedrooms, cabinets...
-Look for false bottoms.
- Got it.
Cellphones?
It's not here.
Hold on a second,
I'II check my bedroom.
I'II come along.
Stay here.
My wife is asleep.
I'm coming along
Iike I said.
- What's up, honey?
- Nothing.
Just the visitors
we were expecting.
It might be in the bathroom.
- What's the pin code?
-9-7-5-3.
Appreciate that.
Honey, put this on.
What? It's only a Search and Seizure,
right?
No, there's this arrest warrant,
too.
- Honey...
- Don't worry.
Turn right when you Ieave
the condo.
Then go inside
before reaching the edge.
What? It's faster.
Now crouch and cough.
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
FEDERAL POLICE BUREAU
So... you ran out ofjokes?
One of the thieves,
a Director at Petrobras,
was outraged
when he was arrested,
"What kind of country is this?"
This song is a tribute to us,
always acting Iike fools.
"We'' don,t know how
to choose ourpresidents
"We'' can't even
take care ofourselves
- Give me a beer please.
- A toast to Julio!
Useles. We allare useless
- To Julio!
- To Julio!
Commissioner Ivan Romero!
Look at you...
We have the right to celebrate
a small victory.
With a nice cold one!
I never knew he had a fun side.
Julio!
We have to admit,
things are changing.
Not necessarily changing,
but we're doing the right thing.
Besides, we're Iucky.
We're all on the same page.
We managed to retrieve
a Iot of money, but...
- No more buts, Ivan. That's it.
- You mean the money?
Think someone
will have the guts to annul this
and return the stolen money
to the thieves?
- Come on, Ivan!
- Cheers.
OPERATION CAR WASH
STAGE 1 4-"ERGA OMNES"
MARCELO ODEBRECHT'S HOME
PENDING
CONGRETIONAL INVESTIGATIONS,
PLEA BARGAIN
Wipe memory - phones; Leak
campaign donations;
Create press release;
What about LULA? What about CUNHA?
SAIU
Of course,
we still have a Iong way to go.
But as the great Lao Tzu said...
A Iong journey begins
with a single step.
- Hope he was right. To Lao Tzu.
- To Lao Tzu.
What's going on there?
Is that Edu? PIease excuse me.
- What's going on here?
- Take a Iook at this.
From Odebrecht's cell phone.
CANCEL MEETING AND RESCHEDULE
TO THE SUPREME COURT
Now check this out.
From Odebrecht's hard drive.
This spreadsheet. "The Italian". This
is Palocci, Lula's Finance Minister.
Now, Iook at this email.
LILS is Lula's Speeches and Events company
- that's how he's paid for his speeches.
Whereas LI stands
for Lula Institute.
Both are being paid
by Odebrecht.
So, should we notify
the Supreme Court?
No. He's no Ionger an elected official.
He doesn't get officeholder jurisdiction.
- There's no reason to notify anyone.
- But he's the former president.
He Ieft office with 70,
80 percent approval.
I know we still have
a Iot of research to do.
But I Iooked into the payments received,
the speeches, the construction projects...
and I realized that more
than half the money,
R$ 30 million that went to his
Speeches and Events company,
and to the Lula Institute,
came from these 5 contractors.
Is this evidence enough?
Or do you think it's just coincidence?
In Angola,
Lula gave a speech
paid for by Odebrecht,
who built a hydroelectric plant
worth R$ 1.5 billion, (USD 500 Million) and
financed by the Government Development Bank.
He gave a speech in Cuba,
also paid by Odebrecht,
who also built a port in Mariel,
financed by the Development Bank.
Lula flies to the Dominican Republic
Odebrechtpays.
Six months later, The Development Bank
finances. Argentina, Peru, Ghana...
Always the same.
Speeches-Odebrecht-Development Bank.
But there was more.
The formerpresident took items
from the Palace to a warehouse,
costing millions ofdollars.
The bill was paid
by the contractor OAS.
There was a triplex
in the Solaris Condominium,
built by Bancoop, Bankers
Building Cooperative,
in Guarujá,,
and also paid for by contractor OAS.
The formerpresident
says it,s not his.
An ordinary apartment
turned into a penthouse.
A renovation that was paid
by the same contractor.
Not to mention,
his ranch in Atibaia,
where Lula and his family
visited 111 times.
Odebrecht and OAS
spent R$ 1.5 million (USD 500 thousand)
to build extra rooms,
a new kitchen
and to redesign a lake.
The formerpresident denies it,s his.
The Police wants to find out
whether one of the properties
was renovated by the family
of former President Lula...
But Operation Car Wash
went beyond investigating the ex-president.
Tens ofphases arresting everyone from
former cabinet members to admirals.
The arrest of former president Lula's
Chief of Staff Jose Dirceu,
is part of Stage 1 7
of Operation Car Wash.
Senator Fernando Collor
in Brasilia and Maceio...
Search and seizure
at the home ofSpeaker ofthe House Cunha.
Senator Delcídio do Amaral
was arrested by FederalPolice.
You guys have no idea
how hard it was
-to fight the Dictatorship.
- What's that got to do with anything?
What's that got to do?
Someone had to fight, so that now
you can be free to investigate.
Exactly. And that's what we're
doing. Investigating.
What about the others?
Why are you only investigating him?
- You're being selective.
- We're being selective?
Oh come on, Dad!
We investigate everyone!
You forget I voted for all of them?
I campaigned for them,
remember?
Now, if they became thieves,
and I can prove they did...
I saw it in the "Mensalao" Case...
I see it every day
Document after document,
bank account after bank account!
I'm going after them all.
And I'm putting them behind bars!
If you'd rather close your eyes, and keep
blindly following your "idols" - it's on you.
But me? I'II never believe
any of this crap! Never again!
- Hey, what's your problem, kid?
- Boys!
FIan.
But we'II keep investigating.
Thank you.
We have more than enough
to request a tap on his phones.
Only he has no numbers registered
in his name.
Not even cell phones.
There's nothing in his name.
- This is ridiculous.
- Hold on. Leo Pinheiro...
There's a message in his wiretap...
He called from a device,
and it seemed Iike he was calling Lula. But the
Iine belonged to some guy named "Moraes".
That's his bodyguard.
He's been using
his bodyguard's phone.
URGENT REQUESTS
WIRETAP RECORDINGS
MORAES DOS SANTOS ALMEIDA
Standing around staring at it won't help.
We have to wait until someone calls.
- So...?
- Guys, relax.
If anything comes up,
I'II Iet you know, I promise.
Pick up, you bastard.
Good evening.
May I speak with Daisy?
-This is she.
-Hi Daisy. This is Moraes.
- How are you?
- I'm fine.
-Hold on a second please.
- Alright.
-Bye-bye.
- Bye.
- Hello?
-Mr. Freitas, hold on please.
That's Wagner Freitas,
the Labor Union Federation president.
-Hello.
- It's Lula!
-Hey dear friend.
- How are you, Sir?
- They're going to come at us with everything!
- Yeah? So what?
So we could Iose everything.
What if they end Operation Car Wash?
-"They"? Who's "They"?
- Come on, Ítalo. "They".
We're putting everything on the Iine
because of a detention for questioning?
One more month and we'II have
enough to indict him.
If we shoot at the king,
we better bring him down.
Listen, Ivan.
If we do nothing,
"They" are going to bring us down.
You heard the tapes.
They never stop maneuvering.
PIus,
you know there are
other ongoing investigations that
might jump the gun on us,
and make it Iook Iike he's
being persecuted.
The Intelligence Agencies have been
gathering information.
Several groups and unions. The Labor Union
Federation, the Landless Workers Movement...
AII of them ready
to start a general revolt.
- We're in a delicate situation.
- Exactly.
So in your opinion the
the detention for questioning is necessary.
He refused to appear before the
Federal Prosecutors in Sao Paulo.
We need to clarify a few points.
The Iink between the contractors
and his institute, his speeches, the apartment
renovations, his ranch, you name it.
There's no room for error.
These guys are ready
and they'II fight back.
If there's a Ieak,
if someone even sneezes,
-we're dead in the water.
- Don't worry, Ivan, I got it.
Try not to keep calm. Don't blow up.
Just don't take the bait.
Oh, come on, Bia.
I'm not crazy.
Okay, just a Iittle bit.
But I'm not insane.
- So, what do we call this stage?
Operation Falling Star.
Good one.
Okay, never mind.
I'II pick the name myself.
Well, Operation...
What is it, Julio?
- Julio.
- What's the matter?
- Is it your mother?
- My dad.
It's been a while
since you've been in the field.
But you know what?
It's better this way.
Better you than Julio.
You're the right man
at the right time.
- He's just a man.
- Just a man?
You're going to strictly
follow this procedure.
PIain clothes, no police badges,
ordinary vehicles.
Nothing that draws attention
or embarrasses the ex-president.
You will protect
the former president.
CIose the airspace
and do not allow pictures.
This is a very risky operation,
and every detail matters.
We're going to need a plane.
And perhaps a helicopter.
Why willyou need
a helicopter?
Well, if he's at the ranch
there's only one way in.
If they close the street,
we can only Ieave by helicopter.
They're coordinating
with the unions
-and they will block every access.
- And why the SWAT team?
Well, the Labor Unions are camped
a few blocks from his house.
If we can't take him out,
they'II break in.
- So we'II need the SWAT.
- Boss, I'm gonna have to make it Iook
Iike this operation is
coming from Headquarters.
Ifit comes from us they'llknow
it's Operation Car Wash, and...
No problem, Ivan.
Okay, I got it.
STAGE 24-"ALETHEIA"

PRESIDENT DUTRA HIGHWAY
BR-11 6
- Vini.
- Go ahead, Ivan.
Don't forget to position
our teams at all entrances.
We can't do anything wrong.
Ivan, you're beginning
to sound like Julio.
Relax, everything will be ready
when you get there.
-Good luck, I'llsee you there.
- Thanks.
Federal Police.
We have a warrant.
Just a moment please.
- See you in a bit.
- Bye.
- What's the matter?
- Nothing.
Don't worry,
it'II be just fine.
It will.
Have a nice trip.
Good morning, my name's Moraes,
the President's bodyguard.
PIease. Come in.
Turn on the camera.
- Good morning, Mr. President.
- Good morning.
- We have a warrant.
- Come in.
Excuse me.
Is the "Japanese Guy from the Federal
Police" with you?
- No.
- Good.
He could steal everything
I've got here.
I'm tired of telling Secretary Cardozo
to arrest that guy!
Mr. President,
if you please.
This is absurd! This whole thing is coming
from the Federal Prosecutors Office, isn't it?
- From them too.
- They want to destroy me.
I'm just serving a warrant.
- Call Teixeira.
- Calm down, Mr. President.
- What's going on here?
- Just the boys from the Police.
One more thing,
Mr. President.
We're going to need a statement.
But we can't take it here.
You can't take him with you.
This is absurd.
- You want to expose my husband.
- I'm not going anywhere.
- Take me where?
- Calm down, Mr. President.
We're not taking you to the Police HQ,
We're going to take you
to the Presidential Hall
at Congonhas Airport.
Well, I'm not going.
You'II have to handcuff me!
And then you'II see what
will happen to this country!
No. We will get your statement.
But we won't do it here.
It's for your own safety,
Mr. President.
It's going to be better
for everyone.
Teixeira, that guy from the Federal
Prosecutors Office. They have a warrant.
Now they want to take me!
What do I do?
LARGE CROWD
OF DEMONSTRATORS
Am I under arrest?
- No, Mr. President.
- What do you mean, no?
You show up at my house
at 6 in the morning,
-and you want to tell me I'm not under arrest?
- This is a detention for questioning.
This is the Federal Prosecutors Office
being fucking assholes!
They say it's
"detention for questioning".
What? Come on, Teixeira.
Talk to you Iater,
my friend.
Mr. President please.
We're not going to expose you.
As you can see,
we're all in plainclothes.
We're not handcuffing you.
Trust me on this.
We'II see, we'II see...
I consider myself a prisoner.
This way, Mr. President.
As I promised,
you will not be exposed.
I only ask you to stay
behind the driver's seat.
The windows are tinted,
so no one will see you.
I called Sáo Paulo State Police.
They'II provide back-up.
Thank you, Boss.
FederalPolice have taken
Former President
Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
Demonstrators hit the streets.
Labor Unions...
A smallgroup ofdemonstrators
set offfireworks
in the middle
ofthe main square
on 23 de Maio Avenue.
What the Police is doing
is wrong.
Brazil needs heroes,
but you are the heroes.
They think they can change
the country, erase our history
and the president's Iegacy.
But we, the people, won't forget.
We, the people, see everything!
Protesting the operation,
members of the party
and supporters
revolt against the Federal Prosecutors'
decision and against the Federal Police.
- Demonstrators?
- Everything's okay so far.
This way please.
Vini, stay in this other room
with the agents.
And no matter what,
no one is allowed to come in.
- We'II stay here.
- PIease sit down.
Naturally, the defense
will record the statement for its records.
Sure.
Would you Iike some coffee?
I would.
Your son's company received
R$ 4 million (USD 1 .3M) from your company.
- I can't say.
- It's all here.
If he got paid, he must have provided
some services.
I don't take care of this.
Paulo Okamoto does.
He's also being questioned, as we speak.
What was your role
as Honorary President
of the Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva
Institute?
I'm the face
of the Institute.
It only exists
because of me.
CIinton's institute,
for instance.
It's only there because of him.
Same goes for Kofi Annan's.
Every institute exists
because of the person
it's named after.
Excuse me for a second.
You can't go in there.
You were only authorized to be here.
This is ridiculous.
We're members of congress!
Who do you think you are?
- Moraes called someone and
they were given permission to be here,
but only to stay
in this room.
- Can you handle this?
- Yes, I can.
Apparently, the ex-president wasn't
arrested. It's a detention for questioning.
Is it usual for companies
to spontaneously
approach the Lula Institute
in order to make donations?
I've never heard of anyone
giving money spontaneously.
Not even the Church's tithe
is spontaneous.
Well, well, well!
Workers Party go to the hell!
Is it possible that Paulo Okamoto,
or CIara, asked for donations
from contractors
such as Camargo Corréa...
- Yes, it's possible.
- Maybe to OAS.
- AII of them.
- Odebrecht...
- That's right.
- Banks, Andrade Gutierrez,
- UTC, Queiroz Galváo...
- Yes, to all of them. AII of them.
Anyway, all of those contractors
made donations
-to the Lula Institute.
- I don't know if it was all of them.
- You don't know?
- No, my friend. I don't know.
WORKERS PARTY FOR THE PEOPLE PEOPLE
FOR WORKERS PARTY - Lula, President!
UNITED FOR BRAZIL
Over the years,
one of the factors
that fed
corruption in Brazil...
was the fact that the goverment
pretended to hire contractors.
Then it pretended to pay,
the contractor pretended to build and nothing
ever changed. But before I became president,
public servants
pretended to work.
The government pretended
to pay wages,
and Brazil got fucked.
Excuse my French.
But then, we decided
to moralize the whole thing.
I seek the truth, Mr. President.
I've Iistened to every deposition.
So, if you seek the truth,
arrest the Federal Prosecutors
who claim the apartment
is mine.
I can't wait for all this to end,
so they can come here
and apologize.
Get down on their knees and beg "forgive
us, for goodness sakes, forgiveus."
- If we made any mistakes...
- I'm fed up
with this BS!
PIease excuse
me for a second.
ALL FOR MORO
They're inciting them
to break in!
CIose off the avenue.
No one is allowed to come to the airport.
-Lula forpresident!
- Out with the Workers Party!
The State Police
tried to split the groups,
those for and against
the formerpresident.
There were punches, kicks,
bruises, and much confusion.
Lula forpresident!
Everything's being done by the book.
PIease Iisten to me!
AII of you will get in,
but calm down!
PIease calm down.
Mr. President,
you're Ieaving this room
-in the arms of the people.
- No, he will not!
Yes he will! He's Ieaving this place
in the arms of the people!
Yes, I will! Who's going to stop me?
You can print this:
The war begins today!
No way! He was brought here safely,
and that's the way he'II Ieave. Safely.
Leaving in the arms of the people
is asking for disaster to happen!
He was elected by the people
and he's Ieaving in the arms of the people!
No! Stop! AII of you!
Moraes, talk to your boss.
- We're risking disaster.
- We can't do it, Lula. Not today.
President, you don't have
to Ieave in our car.
Your attorney brings the car
around the back,
and you Ieave with him.
Don't go out the front entrance. PIease.
When I go back to being president,
I'II remember each one of you.
And that he did not
purchase the apartment.
Lula says he's been
to the apartment.
According to the congressman,
Lula got angry
when asked about
the paddle boats,
< at his ranch, in Atibaia.
You know we did
the right thing, don't you?
We proceeded exactly as we
would proceed with anyone.
- Perhaps even more cautiously.
- Look, Ítalo.
You know the story
about the turtle up the tree
that you and Pedro Henrique
keep telling?
- What if we are the turtles?
- Are you crazy, man?
Nobody put us anywhere, We're civil
servants. We had to pass an exam.
We started investigating
a bunch of money Iaunderers.
- We had no idea where it would take us.
- Okay, I hear you.
But suppose they Ieave office,
Who gets to take over?
With what special interests?
With what kind of bargaining power?
Will this change anything?
Who, exactly, are we serving?
I'd Iike to believe
we're serving Brazil.
Ivan, I know you're worried
about the consequences,
but we can't afford to worry about
who's going to benefit politically
and who's going to get hurt.
The only way to avoid being political
is by not being political.
That's the old system,
the corrupt system.
The way it's always been!
If we go down that route,
we're going to Iose.
You know we follow the facts,
don't you?
If today it Ieads us to someone
from a given party,
we'II investigate.
If tomorrow it's someone
from a different party,
we'II do the same.
Until there's no one
Ieft to be arrested.
Arrested? Who's going to be arrested?
The system always wins,
the pen always wins.
We took them head on.
And you know what? It's over.
Head on, it's over.
Here, pal!
It's over, man. It's over.
Four years in office, plus one, five.
PRESIDENT DILMA ROUSSEF
Now, it's going to be six.
For six years, you have been...
If he becomes a cabinet member,
it's all over?
In that case,
he gets officeholder's jurisdiction,
goes to the Supreme Court, and God knows
when he'II face trial.
Isn't that obstruction
ofjustice?
Yes. Of course.
But we have no way of proving it.
Today we'd Iike to announce
a few people that we're bringing
to the Cabinet.
Starting with
Former President Lula.
- What did she say?
- He'II have the necessary powers
to help us, and above all,
to help Brazil.
It's my investigation
that's over.
- Edu.
- Yes, what's the matter?
The president just announced it,
it's official.
We have to interrupt
the wiretap immediately!
The government
tries to convince
that the appointment
ofthe formerpresident
has a structuralobjective,
a reinforcement
to change the economy's
direction.
Arguments aside,
Lula in the Cabinet,
willbe entitled
to Officeholder Jurisdiction,
which means he escapes
Judge Sergio Moro...
Is this a joke?
Will this turn into "Mani Pulite"?
Next, they'II murder the judge
to end the investigations.
Then they'II change the Iaws
and nothing will come of it!
You know the period of time
between requesting that the phone companies
stop the recordings,
and it actually getting done?
- Yes, of course.
- Well, you better come over and hear this.
Okay, Iet's go.
-PRES. DILMA,S VOICE; Hello?
- EX-PRES LULA,S VOICE; Hello.
Lula, I need to tellyou something.
I'm sending you some documents
So you can have them.
But they,re only to be used in case
we need them. It,s you,re nomination
to the Cabinet.
Okay, I see.
Just wait there, because it,s on its way,
you'llreceive it.
-I'llbe waiting for it.
- Bye, my friend.
Damn! This is all we needed.
She's offering him a blank contract
to be used when he needs
to escape Justice!
AII the reasons she gave. That he's
going to "reinforce the government",
that she needs his expertise... It's all
fake! It's right there! It's proven!
And no one's ever going to know!
It's going to be sealed forever!
Fuck!
- Are you finished?
- No, Ivan, I'm not. We're finished.
So, what should I do?
Do as we always do.
Follow the procedure
Upload it into the system because the tap stays
active until the phone company stops recording.
It's the way it's always been,
Let the judge decide.
PLAYING AUDIO
- Good evening.
- Audio recordings expose
Former President
Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
Shocking recordings
that we will play for you now.
Thejudge released
the recordings.
Some criticized it, but the people
found out what was happening.
Lula didn't become a cabinet member,
and Operation Car Wash kept going.
When I'm asked if
we're changing Brazil, I say no.
It's not ourjob
to change society.
Ourjob is to enforce
the Law.
Operation Car Wash
willnot change Brazil.
But millions ofpeople
going out, voting,
and deciding the direction
ofthe country, will.
And when I'm asked
where this is going to end...
Who said anything
about ending?
Our work isjust beginning.

Petrobras is not
a criminal enterprise.
AIso, Petrobras
does not employ crooks.
This is very important
to clarify.
Since Sarney's
administration,
there have always
been political appointments.
One could not become a director at
Petrobras'
without political support.
I was approached by members
of the Progressive Party (PP),
and invited to take
over this division.
"We're going to appoint you,
but obviously,
you'II need to help the party
with a few things."
I said yes, even though I didn't
yet know the percentage,
and I didn't know exactly
what kind of help.
But at the first meeting,
they said I needed to help.
-To help financially.
- Help them financially.
So, I thought one of the ways
to nullify Operation Car Wash
would be to find inconsistencies
in Paulo Roberto Costa's
or Youssef's statements.
Such as finding
foreign accounts
that hadn't been given up by them.
That was Eduardo Cunha's
(Speaker of the House) thesis.
We're talking
about seven companies
that with Petrobras alone,
manage contracts
worth about R$ 59 billion...
(USD 1 9 Billion) R$ 59 billion.
-"M" or "B"?
-"B". "B".
So, these were the requirements
for the companies.
They should have technical
and operational capability,
-and be willing to pay...
- To pay kickbacks.
To pay kickbacks,
and I needed to have
a close relationship
with the owner,
or at Ieast with the president.
Well, Operations would send it
to the Works Director Engineer.
He would pass on a password
to our final client,
so that the client
could go and get paid.
So the client would show up and give
us the password "Chocolate".
- That was the password.
- Yes.
"I'm here for my chocolate".
A conspiracy
of the ultraconservative
and manipulative media,
with authoritarian and partisan
prosecutors and judges,
has attempted to publicly
humiliate the most popular
Ieader of this country.
I felt outraged!
As if I were a prisoner!
And despite the Police Chief's
politeness, I must say this.
If they wanted
to kill the snake,
they didn't hit it on his head.
They hit it on the tail.
So the snake is alive,
as it has always been.
-You,re contradicting yourself.
- I'm not considering this.
This is not part
of the interview proceedings.
-You said you received from...
- PIease I am not...
I cannot accept this interview
as part of the proceedings.
I'm not going to talk about it.
I don't care about it,
-and I'd rather not reply.
- It's allin the proceedings.
It's clear that they're saying that
I have abused my authority
in the case and that I should
be punished.
So it's clear that the intention
I'm not saying everone's, but
but it's clear that the Abuse
of Authority Legislation
is being created in order to
target those who are working on
and to prevent the procedures
of Operation Car Wash.
Yes, I'm afraid.
We're talking
about some big shots here.
We haven't seen
violence so far.
What about Celso Daniel?
Goes to show how rotten
is Brazilian politics.
Corruption is a stealthy,
invisible,
mass murderer.
A serial killer disguised
as potholes,
Iack of medical supplies,
street violence and poverty.
In this moment of turbulence
and radicalism,
anguish and complaints
about the economic
and political context
are understandable,
as well as to the day-to-day
crime reports.
But even so, it's important
this move forward
without hate speeches
or violence.

- R$ 500,000 in a suitcase.
-Which was handed to his cousin.
- But at this stage, Bia?
-They must think we,re idiots.
