BRAZIL: Supreme court limits inquiry to Petrobras
The ruling Partido dos Trabalhadores (PT) is running out of stalling tactics to prevent a full congressional inquiry (CPI) into mismanagement and corruption at the state-run oil company, Petrobras. On 23 April the supreme court judge, Rosa Weber, decided to limit the CPI to Petrobras, rejecting the government’s request that the inquiry be widened to include an investigation into the São Paulo metro and the port of Suape in the state Pernambuco. The rest of the supreme court has to approve Weber’s decision and the government can still appeal it; the opposition wants the CPI to begin immediately.
