As in Brazil with Eduardo Cunha and the Petrobas affair, so may the truth come to light in Chile with Pascua; yet the Fisco de Chile are desperately attempting to block now the court order calling Richardo Lagos Escobar and Maria Soledad Alvear Valenzuela as witnesses. Makes one wonder, doesn't?


"Not long ago Eduardo Cunha (pictured), who belongs to Mr Temer’s centrist Party of the Brazilian Democratic Movement (PMDB), seemed omnipotent. His is now the latest head to roll in a bribery scandal centred on Petrobras, a state-controlled oil giant....Unlike Ms Rousseff, who was never personally accused of graft, Mr Cunha already faces trial for corruption. In March the supreme court indicted the then-speaker, who enjoyed parliamentary immunity from prosecution in lower courts, on accusations of accepting $5m from a shipbuilder for a contract to sell oil rigs to Petrobras....But fear of jail could prompt Mr Cunha to work with Petrobras prosecutors in exchange for leniency. That could spell trouble for an unpopular government. Over a quarter-century, Mr Cunha is thought to have amassed dirt on politicians of all hues."
