Tres gobernadores y varios otros pol\u00edticos de Brasil han sido vinculados a un esquema multimillonario de lavado de dinero que presuntamente involucra a la compa\u00f1\u00eda petrolera estatal Petrobras; un esc\u00e1ndalo que podr\u00eda alcanzar hasta los niveles m\u00e1s altos del gobierno de Brasil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
En su testimonio, como parte de una declaraci\u00f3n frente a la Polic\u00eda Federal, el exdirector de Abastecimiento de Petrobras Paulo Roberto Costa, nombr\u00f3 a varios pol\u00edticos quienes seg\u00fan afirm\u00f3, participaron en el esquema de lavado de dinero, inform\u00f3 Veja<\/a>. Entre los pol\u00edticos se encuentran exgobernadores de R\u00edo de Janeiro y Pernambuco, el actual gobernador de Maranh\u00e3o, y por lo menos tres senadores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Seg\u00fan O Globo<\/a>, las acusaciones m\u00e1s serias han apuntado hacia Roseana Sarney, la gobernadora de Maranh\u00e3o, quien ha sido acusada de tener nexos con Alberto Youssef, l\u00edder del esquema de lavado de dinero que presuntamente operaba con la ayuda de Costa. Ha surgido evidencia de que Youssef tambi\u00e9n financi\u00f3 viajes para los asesores de dos senadores, uno de los cuales Costa nombr\u00f3 en su testimonio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n La investigaci\u00f3n sobre el masivo lavado de dinero, denominada \u201cOpera\u00e7\u00e3o Lava Jato\u201d, hasta ahora ha dado lugar a cargos contra por lo menos 46 personas<\/a> por cr\u00edmenes financieros tales como transferencias ilegales de dinero y lavado de dinero. Seg\u00fan unos documentos de la Corte a los que accedi\u00f3 Bloomberg<\/a>, la organizaci\u00f3n criminal lav\u00f3 US$4,4 mil millones que incluy\u00f3 dinero de brasile\u00f1os que buscaban evadir el pago de impuestos, ingresos del narcotr\u00e1fico y dinero al parecer malversado de Petrobras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Youssef trabaj\u00f3 como \u201cdoleiro\u201d, un vendedor informal de divisas quien ayudaba a sus clientes a depositar su dinero en el extranjero sin notificarlo a las autoridades recaudadoras de impuestos. \u00c9l presuntamente colabor\u00f3 con Costa para lavar dinero a trav\u00e9s de Petrobras. Ambos fueron arrestados en marzo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A pesar de que la presidenta Dilma Rousseff no ha sido implicada en ning\u00fan delito relacionado con la \u201cOpera\u00e7\u00e3o Lava Jato\u201d, ella fue presidenta del Consejo de Administraci\u00f3n de Petrobras de 2003 a 2010, y tener su nombre conectado a una compa\u00f1\u00eda enredada en un esc\u00e1ndalo probablemente no sea buen augurio para su campa\u00f1a reeleccionista. Seg\u00fan una encuesta reciente<\/a>, Dilma est\u00e1 detr\u00e1s de su oponente Mariana Silva en las elecciones presidenciales de Brasil en octubre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rousseff ya hab\u00eda sido criticada por su rol<\/a> en la compra en 2012 de una refiner\u00eda de petr\u00f3leo en Texas con sobreprecio, un acuerdo que empez\u00f3 cuando Rousseff era a\u00fan presidenta del Consejo de Administraci\u00f3n de Petrobras. Investigadores brasile\u00f1os est\u00e1n averiguando<\/a> si la compra de esta refiner\u00eda podr\u00eda estar relacionada con la \u201cOpera\u00e7\u00e3o Lava Jato\u201d, sin embargo, tal v\u00ednculo no necesariamente significar\u00eda que Rousseff haya tenido conocimiento del esquema de lavado de dinero.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Tres gobernadores y varios
