2. Deltan Dallagnol on leading the prosecution of the Lava Jato investigations in Brazil

Matthew sits down with Deltan Dallagnol for an insightful interview. Many call it the biggest anti-corruption investigation that has ever occurred: the car wash investigation that originated in Brazil. This episode brings you a unique insight into the investigation by no other but the lead prosecutor himself, Deltan Dallagnol (on Twitter @deltanmd). To give you an idea of the size of the investigation, Deltan outlines that car wash included charges against four acting and former presidents of Brazil: Michel Temer, Lula da Silva, Fernando Collor de Mello and Dilma Rousseff. In the interview, Matthew and Deltan explain where the name “car wash” actually comes from. They explain how Plea bargaining agreements in exchange for witness testimony as well as settlements with large companies like Odebrecht played a key role in the car wash investigations. In the discussion, Deltan and Matthew discuss the similarities between the Brazilian investigations and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act . By the way, Deltan also describes how $15 million in cash were featured in the process. Finally, Deltan and Matthew compare the open communication strategies within the car wash investigation to the Robert Muller investigations and touch on the clean hands (“Mani Pulite”) investigations in Italy. • Operation Car Wash: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Car_Wash • Michel Temer: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michel_Temer • Lula da Silva: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luiz_In%C3%A1cio_Lula_da_Silva • Fernando Collor de Mello: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fernando_Collor_de_Mello • Dilma Rousseff: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dilma_Rousseff • Plea bargaining agreements: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plea_bargain • Odebrecht: https://www.odebrecht.com/en/home • Foreign Corrupt Practices Act: https://www.justice.gov/criminal-fraud/foreign-corrupt-practices-act • Robert Muller investigations: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Mueller • clean hands (“Mani Pulite”) investigations: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mani_pulite
