Bombshell: Ápublica reveals leaked documents showing 12 FBI agents participated in Lava Jato, the anti-corruption operation which acted illegally to remove Lula from 2018 Brazilian presidential elections. https://apublica.org/2020/07/o-fbi-e-a-lava-jato/
US DOJ partnership in Lava Jato, has been public knowledge for years. In March, 2019, it attempted to gift task force prosecutors in Curitiba US $682 Million to open a "private anticorruption foundation". The illegal move was blocked by Brazilain courts. https://www.brasilwire.com/us-doj-gives-lava-jato-682-million-kickback/
To make things perfectly clear: these new revelations about the FBI further strengthen the argument that Jair Bolsonaro would not be President of Brazil today if it were not for US support to the Lava Jato taskforce and corrupt then-judge Sérgio Moro.
The US government's legal justification for intervening in Brazilian politics and garanteeing the election of Jair Bolsonaro through a kangaroo court procedure against the leading presidential candidate is the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA). Brazil signed it in 2000.
In September, 2019, 14 Members of US Congress filed House Resolution 594, directing the US DOJ inspector general to perform a full review of the Department’s activities in Brazil. We are still waiting for answers: https://www.brasilwire.com/u-s-congress-demands-answers-on-doj-and-lava-jato/
