Just how far did the bribery tentacles of Brazilian construction giant Odebrecht reach? The company has admitted paying $788 million in bribes in at least a dozen countries, mostly in Latin America, while investigations are underway in four more, according to an in-depth report this week by the British Broadcasting Corp.
And the Brazilian newspaper O Globo has reported that 29 countries, including the U.S., Sweden, France and the U.K., have asked Brazil for help with their own Odebrecht probes. Brazil asked a total of 38 countries to help in its own investigation. Odebrecht’s attorneys at Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan could not immediately be reached for comment.
