A Brazilian prosecutor sought to block a possible government leniency deal with construction and engineering companies implicated in a giant bribery and money laundering scheme at state-run oil company Petrobras, according to a document published Saturday on a Brazilian news site. The letter requests an injunction to stop Brazil's comptroller general from approving any leniency deals with the companies, on the grounds that such a move could obstruct the police investigation. The excess funds were then funneled to corrupt Petrobras executives as well as politicians, including members of President Dilma Rousseff's Workers' Party, prosecutors allege. Those 23 companies, which include some of Brazil's biggest construction and engineering conglomerates, have had payments frozen and been banned from bidding for further contracts with Petrobras.
