In the Odebrecht case trial, expert Antonio Lim faced intense questioning from defense lawyers. Lim admitted he never saw the share books, documents, or certificates of the companies allegedly linked to the Martinelli family for his report. He confirmed he used only the case file information without reviewing the companies' financial statements. Defense lawyer Alfredo Vallarino highlighted that Lim was commissioned to search for media information, not to provide a financial report. The expert also acknowledged he lacks a master's degree in forensic auditing and relied solely on open-source internet information like Google and Facebook. His conclusion that Silver Win Corporation belonged to the Martinelli family was challenged after he admitted not considering a specific document in the case file that disproved this claim. The trial will continue with further cross-examination of the expert by the defense.
