Third man named in diezanis alleged 1 7 billion u s corruption case

You're referring to the massive corruption case involving Brazilian construction company Odebrecht and its alleged bribes to government officials in the United States.

The "Third Man" you're likely referring to is Jorge Zelada, a former Odebrecht executive who was recently named as a co-conspirator in the case. Zelada was a key figure in Odebrecht's international operations and was responsible for overseeing the company's dealings with government officials in the United States, Brazil, and other countries.

Zelada was arrested in 2017 and has since pleaded guilty to charges related to his role in the corruption scheme. He has agreed to cooperate with prosecutors and has provided significant information about Odebrecht's bribery activities, including the identities of other individuals involved in the scheme.

The "First Man" in the case is Marcelo Odebrecht, the former CEO of Odebrecht who was arrested in 2014 and has been serving a 19-year prison sentence in Brazil for his role in the corruption scheme.

The "Second Man" is Claudio Melo Filho, a former Odebrecht executive who was also arrested and has pleaded guilty to charges related to the scheme.

The case is significant not only because of its massive scale (alleged bribes of over $1 billion) but also because it has implicated high-ranking government officials in several countries, including the United States, Brazil, and Peru. The case has also led to widespread corruption investigations and prosecutions in these countries, and has had significant implications for the business and political communities.
