Janot’s parting shots
“Where there is bamboo, there will be an arrow,” Brazil’s former attorney general Rodrigo Janot said, responding to speculation over whether he would continue to actively pursue corruption cases as his term came to end this month. “Until 17 September [his last day in office], I have the pen in my hand and I’m going to continue working at my current pace,” Janot added. Over the past four years, Janot has worked tirelessly to further the progress of the ‘Operation Car Wash’ anti-corruption investigation, by filing a string of charges at Brazil’s political and business elite. But it remains to be seen how many of those ‘arrows’ will stick under his successor, Raquel Dodge.
