Brasília – The government's Chief Prosecutor (procurador-geral da República), Antônio Fernando de Souza, reports that he continues to deny adman/businessman Marcos Valério plea bargaining rights ("delação premiada"). "This is just not an opportune moment. The situation remains cloudy and there is no way to tell exactly how much help Valerio will really provide for our investigations," declared Souza. "So far he has not given us any decisive information that helped clear up obscure points in the case."
