On 14 January 2015, police agent Newton Ishii was waiting in Rio de Janeiros Galeão airport to meet the midnight flight from London. His mission was simple. A former executive of Brazils national oil company, Petrobras, was on the plane. Ishii was to arrest him as soon as he set foot in Brazil and take him for questioning by detectives.
No big deal, the veteran cop thought as he ticked off the hours in the shabby Terminal One lounge. This was just one of many anti-bribery operations he had worked on. Usually they made a few headlines, then faded away, leaving the perpetrators to carry on as if nothing had happened. There was a popular expression for this: acabou em pizza (to end up with pizza), which suggested that there was no political row that could not be settled over a meal and a few beers.
When the plane finally landed, Ishiis target was easy to identify among the passengers in the arrivals hall. Nestor Cerveró has a strikingly asymmetrical face, with his left eye set lower than the right. He couldnt believe it. He said I had made a mistake, Ishii recalled later. I told him I was just doing my job and that he could take up his complaints with the judge.
Cerveró called his brother and a lawyer. He expected to be free before morning. Ishii, too, had few illusions that his suspect would be locked up for long. Decades on the force had taught him how quickly the rich and powerful could wriggle off the hook. There was little reason to think this case would be any different.
As it turned out, both men were wrong.

Being corrupt is very tiring
Wish we'd done that to a couple of presidents I could name.
#3 It is George Soros who had invested in a oil company. Also linked to getting oil rigs after obama cut off oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico.
wow
[if the Clinton crime syndicate is ever unraveled it will dwarf this corruption.]
That is for certain. You can bet there are many who will kill to keep that from happening. /Seth Rich
