Petrobras ‘Godfather’ Scandal Rocks Brazil

A $2 billion corruption scandal going back to 2009. What happened in 2009? George Soros invested in Petrobras, becoming the single largest investor in that company, just before the Obama administration and the controversial Export/Import Bank gave them . . . a $2 billion loan guarantee.

The ongoing investigations in Brazil involve politicians from President Dilma Rousseff on down. So far, the Obama administration and the Ex-Im Bank are not part of that investigation.
