Robert Valdez, lawyer for the general manager of the Brazilian construction giant Odebrecht in the country, Marcelo Hofke, spent around an hour at the Attorney General’s office on Monday 16 January 2017, delivering five files of documents requested by the Attorney General, Jean-Alain Rodríguez, following a five-hour interrogation carried out last week.
