Poison son of key witness in Odebrecht case
Jorge Pizano suffered from lymphatic cancer and died on Thursday, but his death was under investigation following the explosive forensic revelation that his son Alejandro died poisoned by cyanide three days later.

The substance was in a bottle of water from which the 31-year-old drank and was at his father’s desk, the prosecution said Monday.

Jorge Pizano, financial ex-examiner of the consortium formed by Odebrecht to build a million-dollar route, had expressed his fear of being killed by the information he had on the case of bribes involving the Brazilian construction company.
