Engineering at the Service of Corruption: The Response of Technological Courts
Journal Title: Current Trends in Civil & Structural Engineering (CTCSE) - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
The energy that is spent in Brazil to fight corruption is greater than its continental size. In financial terms, it consumes significant portions, which surpass even the production costs. This was the speech impulse of the last presidential election campaign, suggesting a reduction target from 20% to 30% of the then current levels. Part of that was seen in works that would be delivered to the World Cup and the Olympics, such as lines of subways, buses, and its stations, as well as airfields and the “Lava Jato” operation. However, The Union Accounts Court’s report indicated twelve thousand works in the country (TCU, 2018).
