Arruda and their main collaborators were filmed receiving packages and more packages of money to favor entrepreneurs that render services to Federal District. Before being arrested, Arruda was trying to hinder the investigation of the case by political pressure and bribe.
Before involving in the roughest Brazilian case of corruption, José Roberto Arruda was quoted to be candidate to Vice-president of José Serra (friend and Minister and former-president Fernando Henrique Cardoso).
