Colombia drops criminal investigations against Odebrecht executives
by Adriaan Alsema January 13, 2019
Colombia’s Prosecutor General’s Office agreed to end criminal investigations into former executives of Brazilian engineering firm Odebrecht after they agreed to turn government witnesses.
The Prosecutor General’s Office announced Friday that three former executives, Luiz Bueno, Luiz Mameri and Luiz Eduardo Da Rocha, will not be subject to criminal investigations in exchange for their cooperation with justice.
The announcement came hours before thousands took to the streets to demand the resignation of chief prosecutor Nestor Humberto Martinez who is accused of trying to cover up the scandal.
The United States Justice Department (DOJ) has reopened investigations into Odebrecht after indications that former executives failed to fully cooperate about their company’s criminal activity.
