![Anonymous 03/16/16 (Wed) 16:56:35 No.340751 341024 340602 People aren't even talking about the Olympics (and the money wasted hosting them) yet. It could be summarized as this >it starts as a small affair involving a car wash being used to launder money (that's where the name "Operation Car Wash" came from) >one of the directors from Petrobras is arrested for envolvement with that affair >he takes a plea bargain and starts to implicate higher ups in Petrobras in the scandal >it all happened during the time Dilma Roussef was the head of the executive comitee of Petrobras >she claims she dinnu nuffins and dindu nuffins >nobody believes her [TIME GAP, LOTS OF UNINTERESTING STUFF HAPPENS] >the owners of the biggest construction companies in the country are arrested for involvement in this stuff MORE TIME GAP the then leader of the government in the Senate, Delcidio do Amaral, is recorded trying to aid one of the guys arrested to evade justice, and becomes the first senator to be arrested during the exercise of his term under the 1988 Constitution >the first impeachment request is passed on the Lower House of Congress, but is stalled by judicial maneuvering by the government [DECEMBER 2015 - MARCH 2016, BASICALLY NOTHING NEW HAPPENS] >Delcidio do Amaral makes a plea bargain and is released from arrest. The plea's contents are still under secret >police starts investigating ex-president Lula because he got some "small" (i.e. a luxury apartment and a resort) from those construction companies (Odebretch and OAS) >Judge Sergio Moro, the head of Operation Car Wash, sends the federal police to take Lula's statements about the case. He's now being officially investigated for that >Lula flips out and calls for his goons to burn the country; basically nothing happens because he lost all his power to command goons >March 13 demonstrations happen, the biggest in the country's history >Lula's arrest seems iminent now >To escape the jurisdiction of Judge Moro, Dilma offers Lula a ministry (as a Ministry of State, he would have to be investigated by the Supreme Court) >The contents of Delcidio's plea bargain come to public, and they implicate DIlma and Lula directly in obstruction of justice regarding Operation Car Wash >Lula accepts the maneuver and becomes a ministry, basically taking all power from Dilma and becoming de-facto president It's clear that Dilma Roussef both spat in the people's face (because people in demonstrations were calling for Lula's arrest) and gave up on her nominal power to try and save what was left of her government. It's not clear how successful that will be; if that will make their biggest allies, the PMDB, to give up on the impeachment idea. All their maneuvers until now have been a disaster. Even the Lula nomination happened one day after Lula and Dilma were directly implied by Delcidio in literal criminal doing, and after her most trusted goon, minister Aloizio Mercadant, was caught in record trying to bribe and/or intimidate Delcidio through one of his aides](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/001/093/465/7eb.png "The story so far")
