How much did politicians pilfer from Petrobras? Today Brazil’s state-controlled oil giant is at last expected to give an answer, when it publishes its results for 2014. These were delayed while the company and its auditor. PwC, scrambled to pin down the cost of a scam in which big Petrobras suppliers allegedly funneled 3% of the value of some contracts to political slush funds;34 congressmen are under investigation. Early estimates of the write-down lay between 4 billion reais($1,3 billion) and 89 billlion reais. Today’s figure is likely to be somewhere in that wide range. Last week the prospect of audited books unlocked 19 billion reais in loans to tide the company over for this year; it had already slashed its annual investments by 30%, to $31 billion-33 billion. But with production flat and oil prices low, Petrobras need more than accurate accounting to recover.
