The office of the Attorney General (PGR) announced that on 17 May 2017 it received the Dominican Republic file that is part of the Brazilian judiciary’s Car Wash (Lava Jato) investigations. The file contains the list of the names of the persons who Odebrecht executives say received bribes to ensure contract work in the Dominican Republic.
Nevertheless, contrary to expectations that had been created by a previous commitment by Attorney General Jean Alain Rodríguez to reveal the names by 19 May 2017, a press release from the PGR now says that the names will not be known until the PGR takes the government officers to court. The PGR says the documents are being translated and will be confronted with other documents from the local investigation into the case. The PGR now says the documents will not be opened to the public until they are deposited in court.
