@McClatchyDC Thanks to a leak of secret company documents and file registries, the investigative series revealed a fuller story of Odebrecht’s corrupt practices — and Miami’s role. #BriberyDivision hrld.us/2IPrkPm
You wouldn’t know it by the nondescript office here that has nothing hanging on the wall, but Pedro Lupera is a threat to the top echelons of the embattled Venezuelan government. hrld.us/2yQ0zUS
Living in exile in the U.S., Lupera is still a prosecutor on the job. At his request, @mcclatchy and the @MiamiHerald are not revealing where he works, out of his concern over retribution.
@mcclatchy He discloses only that he’s working with an international body in the United States, and that he has shared with an array of U.S. agencies the information he dug up while probing illicit payments by Brazilian company Odebrecht and the Venezuelan state oil company known as PDVSA.
NEW: Emails dating from 2007 to 2015 chronicle how Odebrecht tried to curry favor with the Castros in Cuba while also keeping its dealings with them hidden. #BriberyDivision hrld.us/2K9DfrX
The construction firm Odebrecht is at the center of one of the biggest scandals to hit Latin America. It also has a BIG footprint in S. Fla. Whether it’s AmericanAirlines Arena, MIA, PortMiami, local highways, Odebrecht is behind it. #BriberyDivision hrld.us/2IPrkPm
Thanks to a leak of secret company documents and file registries, a fuller story of Odebrecht’s corrupt practices — and Miami’s role — is being pieced together. #BriberyDivision hrld.us/2IO5ifx
The US just sanctioned businessman Alex Saab for "wide-scale corruption" in food programs meant to help the Venezuelan people. The news shows the power of investigative journalism - and the courage of ICIJ members @jopoliszuk @Ewalds6 (thread)

@jopoliszuk @Ewalds6 Their outlet @ArmandoInfo published stories showing that Saab, working w cronies in senior posts in the Maduro regime, were ripping off food programs even as children in Venezuela were dying of hunger. Here's one of their stories

@jopoliszuk @Ewalds6 @ArmandoInfo Of course, Saab didn't like what they revealing, & the Maduro regime didn't either. So Saab sued Joseph, Ewald and others, forcing the journalists to flee the country in fear of imprisonment. I spoke w Joseph after that happened

"Espero que nuestro próximo intercambio público VUELVA a ser sobre temas de interés para la ciudad" es el "vaya regale un perro" elegante: tanto Boscan como Vivanco pretenden ordenar al alcalde que deje de hablar de #NoHayPlataParaLaPauta...
...Yo sí creo que es de interés para la ciudad saber si en los medios de comunicación la pauta influye o no en la línea editorial.

An Ecuadorean politician fighting extradition for extorting bribe money from Brazilian firm Odebrecht faces a court date in Miami over a potentially explosive lawsuit. #BriberyDivision hrld.us/2IZ3alz
Thanks to a leak of secret company documents and file registries, a fuller story of Odebrecht’s corrupt practices — including Miami’s role — is finally being pieced together. #BriberyDivision hrld.us/2IO5ifx

He was one of the strongest defenders of a $2B coal plant in the Dominican Republic. What he didn't reveal: He had been paid more than $3M by Odebrecht, the Brazilian firm that had won a contract to build the plant. #BriberyDivision hrld.us/2NgBIUe
This and other discoveries were made after poring through a fresh trove of leaked records from an Odebrecht division created for the explicit purpose of managing the company’s bribes. #BriberyDivision
The records were obtained by the Ecuadorean news organization @LaPosta_Ecu and shared with @ICIJorg and media partners across the Americas, including @McClatchy, the @MiamiHerald and @elNuevoHerald. #BriberyDivision
When Peru’s ex-president shot himself in the head as officers were waiting to arrest him, he was facing charges tied to Odebrecht, a Brazilian construction company at the center of one of the biggest scandals to hit Latin America. (THREAD) #BriberyDivision hrld.us/2ILXgDY
Odebrecht isn’t a household name in the U.S., but it has a BIG footprint in South Florida. You name it: whether it’s AmericanAirlines Arena, FIU’s football stadium, MIA, PortMiami, even local highways, Odebrecht is behind it. #BriberyDivision
And it was from a posh perch in Miami that two Odebrecht executives labored in near anonymity, moving money through offshore shell companies to bank accounts in Switzerland and Panama. #BriberyDivision hrld.us/2IO5ifx
