据国外媒体4月12日里约热内卢报道,巴西发行量最大的报纸《圣保罗页报》日前援引重新审查过去合同的消息人士的话报道说,一个巨大的腐败方案估计使巴西国家石油公司损失了50亿至60亿雷亚尔(16亿至20亿美元)。
根据报道中匿名消息来源,这个计算是基于巴国油在来自涉及丑闻的被捕高管在证词中透露的一个回扣计划中向合同多支付3%的报酬,而这个3%还是一个“保守的数字”。
巴国油没有立即对《圣保罗页报》的有关报道发表评论。
巴国油已深陷一个广泛的腐败丑闻。在这个丑闻中,警方和检察官声称巴国油向工程合同多付了报酬,而多付的报酬最后进入了政客和高管的腰包。

Corruption Costs May Reach USD $2 Billion
April 12, 2015
World Oil News
Brazil's state-run oil company Petrobras estimated losses connected to a vast corruption scheme are between 5 billion reais and 6 billion reais ($1.6 billion-$2 billion), a report in Folha de S.Paulo newspaper said on Friday citing sources reviewing past contracts.
The calculation is based upon the 3 percent of what Petrobras overpaid for contracts in a kickback scheme revealed in testimony from arrested executives linked to the scandal and is "conservative" according to unnamed sources in the report.
Petroleo Brasileiro SA, as the company is formally known, was not immediately available for comment.
Petrobras is ensnared in a broad corruption scandal in which police and prosecutors assert the oil company overpaid for engineering contracts, with the extra money kicked back to politicians and executives.
