THE OPERATOR

Who is Marcos Valério? How did a modest employee of the State Bank of Minas Gerais become a millionaire in just seven years, with a visible fortune of over R$14 million? In "O OPERADOR," journalist Lucas Figueiredo investigates Valério's first steps into the world of corruption and influence peddling, revealing that the valerioduto (Valerian Pipeline) was actually created by the Minas Gerais PSDB, which used the operator's "services" to manage its campaign slush funds. And, most surprisingly, Figueiredo shows how the party managed to emerge unscathed from all the scandals.
