“I don’t want to end lava jato… I ended up with Lava Jato, because there is no more corruption in the government”, said the president during a ceremony at the Planalto Palace. Bolsonaro added that it is not a “virtue” but an “obligation”.
Despite Bolsonaro’s speech, the Attorney General’s Office (PGR) is the prerogative to end the operation. According to the newspaper Folha de S. Paulo, the possibility of ending the task force in January 2021 could jeopardize the work of 300 investigations.
