Renan Santos: The president of the PL, Valdemar da Costa Verde, apparently—everything leads us to believe he is— is involved in a scheme of amendments.
Renan Santos: You know those multimillion amendment funds that get passed around to deputies in Congress?

Renan Santos: I don't even know what I'd do with 119 million reais.
