The reason is the benefits granted to the entrepreneur in return for the return of the money paid and possible evidence against publicly refused agents. To date, none of the five agreements signed with the Public Property Office since December has been approved by the judge or the Superior Council of the body.

Among the objects (22 years), clearing clearance to "discount" in future public works that Odebrecht wins in São Paulo, and possibility for the contractor to resume a contract of 503 million reais with the mayor of the capital – Roberto Marinho Avenue Tunnel – that the leaders of the company have acknowledged to have won through the formation of cartels and the payment of tips.

The agreements were proposed by Odebrecht himself after state prosecutors of São Paulo refused to join the leniency agreement concluded in December 2016 by the contractor with the prosecutors of the Federal Public Prosecutor (MPF) – they did not agree with the absence of the government in the pact. Without membership, they did not have access to the evidence presented by the 78 executives informing the prosecutors of the Lava Jato working group. Despite everything, they have put in place about thirty investigations since the release of the allegations of investigation on allegations of administrative irregularities involving the reported cases.

Last December, a group led by Attorney Silvio Marques began signing agreements with Odebrecht defending that they are needed to recover money and collect evidence against corrupt officials. The executives were called to testify and confirmed the allegations made to the MPF. And the company is committed to pay, in the five agreements signed so far, 42.6 million reais. On the basis of the content, the prosecutors have already filed four irregularity actions with application for approval of the agreements, which has not yet taken place.

"Without Effective Evidence"

The magistrate claimed that the seal of agreement at this stage of the proceedings was "premature" and that the charges "rest mainly on the unilateral report of members of the construction company" without "effective evidence and documentary of the payment of the undue advantage ". On the other hand, four other public promoters who are conducting at least eight Odebrecht surveys do not agree with the terms proposed and refuse to sign similar agreements with the contractor, who has already warned that it would not cooperate with these investigations.
