Abstract: 
In the aftermath of the Odebrecht corruption settlements on December 21, 2016 with Brazil, Switzerland and the U.S., several countries have started their own criminal investigations and taken action to cancel contracts with Odebrecht. Since the settlement, Peru, Ecuador and Panama have forbidden Odebrecht from signing new public works contracts.
