The Lava Jato investigation in Paraná has filed a new complaint against former president and ex-convict Lula. This time, he was accused of money laundering for donations of R$4 million from Odebrecht to the Lula Institute between December 2013 and March 2014.
According to the complaint, the transfers were made in four operations disguised as donations carried out by the Odebrecht Group in favor of the Lula Institute, each worth R$1 million.
The amounts would have been debited from the illicit bribery credit recorded in the “Planilha Italiano”, in the sub-account called “amigo”, a code name used by the construction company in reference to Lula, in which the note “Doação Instituto 2014” was inserted.
“There are hundreds of pieces of evidence, from communications to spreadsheets and payment receipts that link the formal donation of large amounts to possible illicit acts committed previously,” points out federal prosecutor Alessandro Oliveira, coordinator of the Lava Jato task force in Curitiba.
All the money would have been discounted from the general fund for bribes that the construction company kept in favor of the PT, taken from the “Planilha Italiano” heading and the “friend” sub-account.
Lula can now expect a visit from the Federal Police in the next two days. Jail for the corrupt!
