Roberto Gurgel said Wednesday he'll examine statements by businessman Marcos Valerio that Silva approved of the so-called monthly payout scheme and that he used cash from it while in office. Valerio was among 25 people convicted by the Supreme Court for their roles in the operation, which saw legislators given cash handouts in return for support of Silva's policies. Valerio was found to have been the operator of the scheme. He was sentenced to more than 40 years in prison and fined $1. 3 million. He made the allegations against Silva in testimony to federal prosecutors. They emerged last week after a newspaper obtained a transcript.

Excerpt:

MILAN Silvio Berlusconi's vacillations over whether or not to run for Prime Minister of Italy failed to dent investor demand for the country's debt, leaving borrowing costs steadfastly low in a bond auction on Thursday. Italy easily raised euro3. 5 billion ($4. 5 billion) in the sale of 3-year bonds Thursday that saw interest rates, or yields, drop to the lowest level in two years. Italy paid an interest rate of 2. 5 percent, compared with 2. 64 percent last month. The country has been back in the spotlight for the last week after Berlusconi's party pulled its support for Premier Mario Monti's technocrat government and Berlusconi said he would take another shot at re-election. All this prompted Monti to announce he would step down as soon as the budget is passed.

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
