The article surrounds Operation Car Wash which is an investigation surrounding money laundering between the former president, current executives, and state oil company Petrobras. The investigation has been going on for about 3 years now and is only going to escalate. Although the current president wasn’t in term when the car wash allegedly began, he and many others from his party are under investigation to try and figure out if they’re apart of it too.
I agree with what the prosecutors are trying to do. Even though the scandal may have started with the former president who knows if the current president is taking part of it also. When the president started his term i’m pretty sure he knew about the scandal so would he really take part in it? I’m not exactly sure, he could be in it or he might not.
This is important because it involves a big part of Brazilian government. If the President and his party is found to be involved in any of this then they will all have to be impeached. If they’re all impeached then they’ll have to go through a lot to replace them. This puts a lot of stress on their government and who knows what will happen to the Brazaillian society as it happens.
