List of Scandals: PT the most corrupt government on the planet

That the PT governments were the most corrupt in the history of Brazil (and the world) everyone knows. A survey released in December by the Data Veritas institute revealed that 86% of Brazilians believe that the Lula government was corrupt. In an article published in 2017, IstoÉ magazine classified the PT as “a crime syndicate” and Lula and Dilma as “gang leaders”, in reference to PT leaders who were on Odebrecht’s bribery list.

Let’s remember the main corruption scandals of the corrupt era of the PT governments of Lula and Dilma, which, for the good of Brazil, ended in 2016. All information used in this article was widely disseminated by the national press.

Sending illegal money to tax havens and Banestado CPI

The first signs of widespread corruption in Lula’s government appeared in the first six months of his term. In June 2003, the Banestado CPI was installed in the Chamber to investigate the illegal sending of money to tax havens. At the time, PT deputy José Mentor was accused of sabotaging the CPI to protect members of the PT government.

Misappropriation of Transport Money involving PT Minister Anderson Adauto

Also in June 2003, the corruption scheme in the DNIT (National Department of Infrastructure and Transport) with the diversion of R$ 32.3 million in resources destined for the construction of roads came to light. The target of the denunciations was the Minister of Transport, Anderson Adauto. A report released by the Comptroller General of the Union listed 66 irregularities in 17 ministry contracts involving BRL 5.1 billion.

Waldomiro Diniz’s bribe request

The first major corruption scandal in the Lula government came to light just over a year after the PT’s inauguration. In 2004, Waldomiro Diniz, then advisor to the Civil House of the Presidency of the Republic, was filmed by Carlinhos Cachoeira charging bribes for PT election campaigns. Diniz was sentenced by the state court of Rio de Janeiro to 12 years in prison and a fine for passive and active corruption.

Robbery at the Post Office explodes in the press

In 2005, Maurício Marinho was filmed negotiating bribes with an alleged businessman. The episode brought to light a scheme that raffled the command of Brazilian state-owned companies to the interest of politicians and parties from the base of the Lula government in Congress. Victim of looting for years, the Brazilian Post and Telegraph Company suffered losses and only returned to profit after the withdrawal of the PT from power.

The bags of money from the Mensalão scandal

Still in 2005, Roberto Jefferson denounced one of the biggest corruption scandals in the history of Brazil, the Mensalão. The scheme consisted of buying parliamentarians with money diverted from state and public bodies. In this way, the Lula Government approved projects that enabled more diversion of resources into pockets and campaign funds, favoring the perpetuation of the PT in power. The scandal resulted in Penal Action 470, judged by the STF, which led to the arrest of major PT figures at the time. José Dirceu, then Lula’s Chief of Staff, was arrested and convicted of being appointed as head of the criminal scheme.

The forged Dossiers of the PT’s “Aloprados” against political opponents

In 2006, two PT members were arrested by the Federal Police when trying to negotiate forged dossiers against José Serra and Geraldo Alckmin. The dossier linked the toucans to the Sanguessugas mafia, which embezzled money from Saúde during the FHC governments. Used to destroy reputations, the PT’s fake dossier factory was famous in Brasilia and can be recognized as the “mother” of all fake news. One of the ‘nuts’, a term used by Lula, was Hamilton Lacerda (photo), former adviser to Aloizio Mercadante, a PT candidate who would directly benefit from the scheme.

The fall of Palocci and the PT’s request for bribes in Ribeirão Preto

In March 2006, it was the turn of Lula’s superminister, Antônio Palocci, to make headlines with a corruption scandal. According to the press, Palocci would have headed a corruption scheme at the time he was mayor of Ribeirão Preto. Palocci allegedly charged “allowances” of up to R$ 50,000 a month from companies that provided services to the city hall destined for PT coffers to finance election campaigns and defraud democracy.

Petrolão and the diversion of billions of reais that almost broke Petrobras

None of the previous corruption schemes compared to Petrolão. According to award-winning investigations and accusations, corruption involved administrative members of the state-owned company Petrobras, politicians from the largest parties in Brazil, including presidents of the Republic, presidents of the Chamber of Deputies and the Federal Senate and governors of states, as well as businessmen from large Brazilian companies. Petrobras contracts were overpriced and companies returned the proceeds of theft in the form of bribes, gifts to politicians and forged donations to PT election campaigns. The investigations resulted in the arrest of several members of the PT, including former President Lula, convicted of allegedly having received bribes in the form of a farm in Atibaia and an apartment in Guarujá.

List of Odebrecht kickbacks

Lava Jato investigations uncovered a “creative” list of nicknames used to identify politicians who received bribes from Odebrecht, one of the companies that earned the most during the Lula and Dilma governments. According to one of the operators on the list, nicknames were used so that loan officers would not know who the final beneficiaries of the fees paid were. Viagra, Barbie, Fodinha, Maçaranduba, Garanhão and Kibe are some of the nicknames found in Odebrecht spreadsheets. The complete list can be seen in this G1 article: https://g1.globo.com/politica/operacao-lava-jato/noticia/apelidos-de-politicos-na-odebrecht-quem-e-quem.ghtml

Arrest of PT senator Delcídio do Amaral and the revelation of plans against LavaJato

In 2000, PT Senator Delcídio Amaral, former leader of the Government and Dilma’s strongman in the Senate, was arrested. The politician was arrested in flagrante delicto while trying to buy the silence of the Oil whistleblower, Nestor Cerveró. Delcídio’s delation threw even more mud over Dilma and Lula in the Petrobras scandal and revealed that both acted to mess up Lava-Jato. In May 2016, he had his Senator’s term impeached by 74 votes in favor, one abstention, no votes against, making him ineligible for 11 years. On July 12, 2018, he was acquitted by the Federal Court and registered his candidacy for a vacancy in the Federal Senate for Mato Grosso do Sul on September 17, 2018. However, on October 7, he did not obtain the necessary votes to get elected.

The tax pedals and the crimes of responsibility that overthrew Dilma

In 2005, a unanimous opinion by the Federal Court of Auditors considered the accounting maneuvers practiced by President Dilma Rousseff to be illegal. The “pedaladas” served as the basis for the impeachment request that ended with the PT’s forcible withdrawal from power. The criminal practice of pedaling is, according to an article by the Estadão, the practice of deliberately delaying the transfer of money to banks and municipalities, in order to artificially improve federal accounts, in a kind of loan prohibited by law. Weakened by poor management and the PT’s history of corruption, Dilma was impeached in 2016.
