‘Operation Carwash’ in Brazil causes normally staid business meeting to go off script

The scandal followed Rousseff to Australia, where she was attending the G-20 summit and gamely tried to put a positive spin on the new wave of arrests. “I think this could, in fact, change Brazil forever,” she said. “It is going to end impunity.” On Saturday, some 10,000 demonstrated on São Paulo’s main avenue for her impeachment – signs of the strength of feeling in Brazil, where many feel that the scandal is not being taken seriously enough. Some on the march even split off and called for a return to military dictatorship. This is not just a business story in Brazil, where Petrobras is held dear as a national champion, but a scandal that has reached into every corner of country.
