  Governments, presidents and high-ranking officials fell, as well as Odebrecht executives. They passed through the corridors of power to sleep behind bars. In his confession, the company gave details of his crimes and agreed to cooperate with prosecutors throughout the region committed to bringing those involved to justice.

However, Odebrecht did not tell the whole story.

New research from the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) reveals that the Odebrecht Structured Operations Sector – also known as the “Bribery Division” – made payments in exchange for contracts that were even larger of what the company has admitted and that involve prominent figures and huge public works projects that are not mentioned in the pending legal cases or in any other official investigation until now.

The new finding comes from the filtering of 13 thousand documents and records of its bribery division, housed in an encrypted communication platform known as Drousys.

These records were obtained by the Ecuadorian news organization La Posta, and then shared with the ICIJ. The same records were also obtained, independently, by the Ecuadorian mil mil Hojas , which was added to the project.
