The leniency agreement that Odebrecht signed with the Federal Public Ministry in December 2016 is very similar to the Petrobras agreement. Both provide for the creation of a judicial account, under the responsibility of the 13th Federal Court of Curitiba, so that the money is available to the MPF, so that it can use it however it wants. reproduction Odebrecht's leniency agreement with the MPF also provides for "lava jet" prosecutors to administer a fine paid by the contractor. reproduction In the case of Odebrecht, the construction company committed to paying R$8.5 billion as a fine for its misdeeds, which will be divided by the MPF between itself, the United States Department of Justice (DoJ) and the Swiss Attorney General's Office. The part that remains in Brazil will be the responsibility of the "lava jet" prosecutors in Curitiba.
According to the agreement, this money will be used to repair the "material and immaterial damage" caused by Odebrecht's corruption. According to an explanation from the MPF in Paraná to ConJur , 80% of the money will go to Brazil, 10% to the USA and 10% to Switzerland. Therefore, the MPF was responsible for managing R$6.8 billion. Of what remains in Brazil, 97.5% will be allocated to "public entities, public bodies, public Exit Mobile Number List companies, public foundations and mixed-capital companies" that were harmed by the construction company's actions. In other words, R$6.63 billion will have its destination defined by the MPF. The other 2.5% will be allocated to the Union, as part of the confession for committing administrative improbity. The distribution of the money is in paragraph 3 of clause 7 of the agreement, according to which the "global amount will be allocated to the Federal Public Ministry.
In response to ConJur 's questions , however, the MPF guarantees that "the agreement does not allocate the resources to the Public Ministry nor places them under the administration of the Public Ministry." According to the official explanation, the money will be paid to the "victims", whenever the MP responsible for the misconduct action adheres to the MPF agreement. Although the agreement is public and one of its clauses states that the money will be made available to the MPF, its destination is described in a confidential section of the document, "Appendix 5". This document was not released by the Public Ministry and has been treated with great care by the 13th Federal Court of Curitiba, which had the current Minister of Justice Sergio Moro as head throughout the entire "lava Jato". On at least three occasions, Moro denied requests for access to this appendix on the grounds that it could hinder ongoing investigations.
