Brazil: The Car Wash Scandal


We investigate a massive corruption scandal in Latin America involving some of its most prominent public figures.


Launched in early 2014, the operation was initially thought to be routine - one of a number of similar ongoing probes that the Brazilian Federal Police had on their books.
In this case, the targets were doleiros: black-market money dealers who used small businesses, such as petrol stations and car washes, to launder the profits of crime.
But it soon evolved into one of the biggest and most complex corruption investigations in South American history.
