President Michel Temer,in the town of Floresta, in Pernambuco state.
President Michel Temer said today (Jan. 30) that the Chief Justice of Brazil's Supreme Court, Cármen Lúcia, did right by authorizing the use of the plea bargain statements of 77 executives and former employees of Odebrecht construction company. As a result, the more than 800 testimonies heard by the Federal Prosecution Service (MPF) during Operation Car Wash investigations can be used as evidence.
"I think she did what she had to do and, in that sense, she did right," Temer said today (30), in Pernambuco.
The president made the remarks after attending the inauguration of the third water pumping station as part of the São Francisco River Integration Project, in the town of Floresta, in Pernambuco state.
