Juez de Estados Unidos aprueba una multa de $ 2.6 mil millones para Odebrecht en caso de corrupción
Un juez de EE. UU. Condenó el lunes a la compañía de ingeniería brasileña Odebrecht SA por pagar $ 2.6 mil millones en multas en un caso de corrupción criminal masiva, firmando un acuerdo entre la compañía y las autoridades de EE. UU., Brasil y Suiza.
El juez de distrito Raymond Dearie de los Estados Unidos dijo en una audiencia en la corte federal de Brooklyn que aproximadamente $ 93 millones se destinarán a los Estados Unidos, $ 2,39 mil millones a Brasil y $ 116 millones a Suiza.
Odebrecht, junto con la empresa petroquímica afiliada Braskem SA, se declaró culpable de cargos de soborno en Estados Unidos en diciembre. Las autoridades estadounidenses acusaron a Odebrecht de pagar alrededor de $ 788 millones en sobornos a funcionarios en 12 países, principalmente en América Latina, para asegurar contratos lucrativos.
Algunos de esos sobornos fluían a través de los bancos estadounidenses, dijeron los fiscales.
La orden del lunes se produce cuando Odebrecht intenta negociar acuerdos con otros países, entre ellos Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, México, Perú, República Dominicana, Venezuela, Panamá y Portugal.
Un ejecutivo de relaciones públicas que trabaja para Odebrecht en São Paulo declinó hacer comentarios, al igual que William Burck, un abogado de Odebrecht en los Estados Unidos.
Los cargos contra Odebrecht se derivaron de una investigación de casi tres años en Brasil sobre la corrupción en la petrolera estatal Petrobras, que ha llevado a decenas de arrestos y disturbios políticos en Brasil.
El presidente de Brasil, Michel Temer, dijo el lunes que espera que algunos de sus ministros renuncien luego de que los ejecutivos de Odebrecht los acusaron de haber cometido irregularidades en declaraciones de declaración de culpabilidad y fueron investigados por un juez de la Corte Suprema.

Odebrecht, along with affiliated petrochemical company Braskem SA, pleaded guilty to U.S. bribery charges in December. U.S. authorities charged Odebrecht with paying about $788 million in bribes to officials in 12 countries, mostly in Latin America, to secure lucrative contracts.
Some of those bribes flowed through U.S. banks, the prosecutors said.
Monday's order comes as Odebrecht tries to negotiate plea deals with other countries, including Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, the Dominican Republic, Venezuela, Panama and Portugal.
A public relations executive working for Odebrecht in São Paulo declined to comment, as did William Burck, a lawyer for Odebrecht in the United States.
The charges against Odebrecht stemmed from a nearly three-year investigation in Brazil into corruption at the state-run oil company Petrobras, which has led to dozens of arrests and political upheaval in Brazil.
Brazilian President Michel Temer said on Monday he expects some of his ministers to resign after they were accused of wrongdoing by Odebrecht executives in plea bargain testimonies and placed under investigation by a Supreme Court justice.
