A so-called “Cooperator C1 of the Republic of Brazil” delivered on June 9 audio and video information contained in an external memory card of 8 GB to Attorney General Carlos Baca Mancheno, which is part of the investigation file of the alleged crime of concussion against Carlos Pólit, who resigned his position as State Comptroller on June 20.
The Office of the Prosecutor has not identified Cooperator C1.
On June 16, the Brazilian magazine Veja reported that José Santos, the executive of Odebrecht in Ecuador has collaborated with videos made by him of meetings with Ecuadorian authorities as a plea bargain. It is unknown whether Santos is Cooperator C1 referred by the Prosecutor’s Office or another employee of that company.
This device was handed over to the Ecuadorian Prosecutor’s Office seven days after the raid on Polit´s home as part of the investigations in the case of the Brazilian company Odebrecht.
José Santos, who served as “Superintendent Director” of Odebrecht in Ecuador and lived in the country for 16 years, has received the lowest penalty among the 77 Odebrecht informers, as a prize for the videos given to judges. He directed the construction of the Ruta Viva and the Manduriacu hydroelectric plant, the Daule Vinces aqueduct, the Pascuales Pascua poliduct and La Esperanza aqueduct. (I)
