The collaboration agreement to be signed between Peruvian authorities and
, Lava Jato Case Special Prosecution Group Coordinator Rafael Vela has affirmed.
Concerning the criticisms for considering only four projects in the accord —Cusco's Evitamiento Road, Costa Verde–Callao Stretch concession, Lima Metro Line 1, as well as South Interoceanic Highway Project, stretches 2 and 3— the prosecutor indicated it is a voluntary measure within the framework of law.
However, he affirmed that if the Public Ministry —in the future— finds new elements unrelated to the four cases, then the prosecutors could investigate the firm without any limitations.
"The Brazilian justice does not enable access to information provided by its informers if we do not sign collaboration (agreement) just as they have done," he stressed.
Other agreements
Moreover, the prosecutor stated there are other investigations that have not been included in the special team and are being carried out by other Prosecutor's Offices at a national level.
Odebrecht
As is known, the Brazilian construction giant admitted to having paid millions in bribes to government officials in Peru, in order to secure public-works contracts.
As a result, Odebrecht benefited from over US$143 million between 2005 and 2014 in Peru, according to the U.S. Justice Department.
Former presidential candidate
Keiko Fujimori —currently under preventive detention— also allegedly received money from Odebrecht for her 2011 campaign.
