Summaries of the Odebrecht accusations and defense positions

Diario Libre newspaper published this Friday a summary of the accusations to the 13 government officials, suppliers and legislators involved in the Odebrecht bribes scandal.

Acento news portal also shares the defense bar arguments rendered during the three-minute window offered to each of the accused in the hearing with judge Francisco Ortega.

Nuria Piera dedicated her Monday TV investigative program to summing up what the Odebrecht scandal means for the country.

Piera speculates it will be up to the United States government to release the longer list of those involved or to use the information for negotiations with the Dominican government.
