Five former executives from Brazilian construction company OAS will be interrogated by
within the framework of the collaboration agreement negotiated by the Public Ministry, Prosecutor Rafael Vela has informed.
According to him, OAS decided to accept the accord and be subjected to Peruvian laws.
However —due to legal restrictions— the prosecutor could not provide the names of the executives.
"The accord includes the admission of guilt in many facts and events during the development of their commercial activities and the determination to collaborate with Peru's justice administration system without any restrictions," Vela told Canal N news channel.
Likewise, the agreement will enable Peruvian prosecutors to access the Brazilian company's documents.
With regards to its participation in the Inca country's construction sector, OAS is ranked behind
Odebrecht.
"We asked for the rescheduling due to matters related to the bureaucracy's speed," he expressed.
Furthermore, the special team was consolidating the collaboration agreement with OAS.
