Over the past week, at least 23 of some of the wealthiest and most powerful businessmen in Brazil have been arrested. So far 85 arrest warrants have been issued over the course of ‘Operation Car Wash’, the investigation into a political bribery scheme at the State oil giant Petrobras, the largest company in both Brazil and Latin America.
