According to the former director, who had been remaining in the role by indication of the PT, as well as Dirceu, the percentage of the bribe was in the “CASA”, a term used to indicate that the illicit money was for high-ranking employees from Petrobras and Sete Brasil, the other batch of bribes would go to Lula, Dirceu and the PT, according to Duque. This entire amount was administered by the companies Odebrecht, OAS and UTC through their shipyards.

Duque also reinforces that the former Minister of the Civil House and Finance, Antonio Palocci, had the responsibility of indicating and allocating the distributed money. Offshore unit contracts signed after 2011 amounted to 20 billion dollars with 1% bribes.
