Money from corruption does not distinguish between parties, allies, or adversaries. Even more serious is the delay of the authorities in expediting the process. From time to time, the twists of fate reiterate that lesson, which, although so evident, can always be a bit more uncomfortable. In the same trial, a former president of the Republic and the two sons of his predecessor will coincide. The excuses, as usual, turn out to be trivial: while some tried to evade their share of responsibility by shifting it to their father, the other maintains that the funds the Brazilian construction company gave him were not a "bribe" but a "donation." But the fundamental fact remains: they obtained economic benefits from a company that made corruption its business model in Panama and other countries where it operated. This has allowed the case to drag on for years without a resolution. The country demands that justice be done, without further delays, especially if, in both cases, the sons of the former president and his adversary have admitted to having received the money.
