The work of Judge Sergio Moro, and prosecutors led by Deltan Dallagnol, to strengthen the legal system in Brazil for tackling corruption
04/07/2015
The story of the Petrobras investigation in Brazil is the result of the hard work put in by six prosecutors in the Brazilian city of Curitiba. Their hope is to bring some aspects of the U.S. legal system to Brazil to reduce the level of corruption. It comes at a time when there is a greater awareness in Brazil- and in many developing countries such as Brazil, Nigeria and others- of the cost of waste of public funds. In Brazil essential services including transportation have suffered for lack of funds, leading to public protests. A huge amount of borrowing took place in the last 10 years resulting in a debt crisis and credit crunch in the country which is likely to lead to low or stagnant growth.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
