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.
@mcclatchy The chain of events leading to his exile began with his probe of Odebrecht, a company that had a special arm dubbed the Bribery Division.
@mcclatchy Thanks to a leak of secret company documents and file registries, a fuller story of Odebrecht’s corrupt practices — and Miami’s role — are being pieced together. #BriberyDivision hrld.us/2IPrkPm
@mcclatchy 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
