A former director at Petroleo Brasileiro SA, the state-run oil company at the center of Brazil’s largest corruption scandal, was arrested on Monday for a second time after he allegedly attempted to transfer nearly 20 million euros to accounts in Monaco, prosecutors said Monday.
Prosecutors presented evidence that Renato Duque, Petrobras’s former head of engineering and services, allegedly emptied Swiss accounts and transfered the funds to other countries. He was part of a scheme that diverted illicit money to politicians, disguised as legal campaign donations, prosecutor Deltan Dallagnol said Monday at a press conference from Curitiba, where the case is before a judge.
