"EXPULSION: I support it, and you? It's time to expel from Brazil this foreign journalist, husband of the socialist Congressman, who is committing crimes against our authorities every day. If this were any other country, he'd be imprisoned" - State Rep from Bolsonaro's party.
The gentleman - 👆- calling for my expulsion (prohibited under Brazil's laws given I am married to a Brazilian with Brazilian children) & imprisonment was an ex-member of the Federal Police, former Congressman & his son now chairs the key Committee in Congress: the mentality.
I'm grateful to @pressfreedom, @abraji and the other press freedom and human rights groups - both inside Brazil and internationally - that have denounced these efforts of intimidation aimed at me and @TheInterceptBr for our reporting, which will continue
More from the pro-Bolsonaro/Moro protests: "In Brasilia, the [far-right] Congresswoman Kátia Sastre called for the imprisonment of journalist Glenn Greenwald, of the Intercept Brasil...She was applauded by the crowd." (Also attacked the Congress & SupCt) oglobo.globo.com/brasil/manifes…

1/ Alguns pontos-chave sobre nosso novo artigo conjunto com Veja que trata o que a Veja, na primeira página de seu site, chama de ações "ilegais" de Moro. O novo ponto chave é o seguinte: os atos corruptos de Moro não eram isolados ou episódicos, mas contínuos e crônicos.
2/ O artigo contém muitas discussões inéditas entre Moro e Deltan, e entre LJ - algumas das mais incriminadoras até aqui - que revelam de, nas palavras do @VEJA, a "forma cabal como Moro exorbitava de suas funções de juiz, comandando as ações dos procuradores na Lava Jato.”
3/ Como já falei anteriormente, a "Carta ao Leitor" de @Veja é, por si só, extraordinária. Explica porque - após 4 anos de apoio a Moro - agora percebem que é seu dever jornalístico dizer a verdade: que Moro era o oposto da imagem que ele e a mídia passaram anos construindo:

Yesterday in Brazil's Congress, Bolsonaro's Justice Minister Sergio Moro testified for 7 hours, defending himself from our exposés. One Congressman claimed the UK arrested @davidmirandario for "terrorism"; others called for our deportation. That gave him 1 minute to respond:
Meanwhile, Moro's testimony was stopped after 7 hours when another Congressman - @Glauber_Braga - summarized Moro's corruption so thoroughly and clearly that it caused a major outburst that came close to a physical fight. We translated it because it conveys it so well. Part I:
Here's Part II of @Glauber_Braga's explanation - directly to Bolsonaro's Justice Minister, Sergio Moro - of the corruption exposed by our journalism. This gives a sense of the climate created here, and why they are now using brute (& futile) threats against us for our reporting:

According to a right-wing site often cited by Sergio Moro & used by corrupt prosecutors for leaks, the Federal Police - which Moro controls - has formally requested an investigation into my finances. They're not even hiding their abuse of power to retaliate against journalists:
The irony is obvious: the Bolsonaro movement spent years claiming the Workers' Party was a tyranny that attacked a free press. It never did. But this is what Bolsonaro & Moro are now doing: using the Federal Police they control to investigate me in retaliation for my reporting.
Como eu disse desde o início - tanto no caso Snowden quanto no caso Moro LJ -, nenhuma intimidação ou ameaça interromperá as reportagens. Ameaças do estado só servem para expor seu verdadeiro rosto: abuso do poder - e por que eles precisam de transparência de uma imprensa livre.

TechnipFMC, a global oil & gas services provider, pleaded guilty to violating the FCPA and will pay almost $300 Million to settle bribery charges.

Technip bribed officials in #Brazil and FMC bribed Iraqi officials, among other things.

#Petrobras #ButNothingsHappening
Former Technip consultant Zwi Skornicki also pleaded guilty for his role in bribing Brazil officials.

Skornicki also worked as a consultant for Keppel Offshore & Marine (KOM). Both Technip and KOM paid more than $69 million in corrupt payments to Skornicki associated companies.
Skornicki then used some of those payments to bribe officials at #Petrobras, Brazil's state-owned oil company.

I’m remembering how much I love about Brazil 🇧🇷 today. I’ve traveled almost all over the country over the past decade here, and I thought maybe I should share my very favorite places.😻 Thread, share with your friends who want to visit #Brazil!👇
(1) I’m a beach bunny, & Brazil provides endless beaches for me to explore. Several of my favorites are in a rarely-visited area along the south coast of Paraíba state in the Northeast. Pink cliffs juxtapose turquoise waters like a painting, & the forests are awesome for hikes.
(2) Brazil has a ton of really special colonial towns. Paraty is wonderful, but I often get annoyed by crowds & rain. The town I prefer is #OuroPreto in Minas Gerais. The air there is so brisk & fresh, the people are so kind, and all I want to do when I’m there is stroll forever.
