Former Petrobras Executive Convicted

摘要

A Brazilian judge convicted a former Petrobras executive on Wednesday of money laundering and racketeering for his role in the massive kickback scandal engulfing the state - run oil company, but he will only serve one year of house arrest. Petrobras' former director of refining and supply, Paulo Roberto Costa, who named many of those implicated in the widening corruption scandal in a plea bargain deal with prosecutors, was sentenced to seven years and six months in prison.
