The President Of Peru, Martín Vizcarra, Said On Monday That Odebrecht Should Not Continue Working In Peru Because The Brazilian Construction Company “Contaminated Private Activity” And Admitted To Bribing Public Officials.
Vizcarra’s statement comes weeks after Odebrecht Peru signed an agreement with Peruvian authorities to pay a fine of US$ 182 million over 15 years that would allow it to continue operating in the country in exchange for evidence about the authorities it bribed to win infrastructure projects.
Vizcarra was preparing on Monday to travel to Brazil for Jair Bolsonaro’s inauguration on Tuesday. He told local radio RPP that Odebrecht “disqualified itself from working with Peruvians” by paying bribes.
