On March 11, 2015, a report from a São Paulo newspaper, Folha de S. Paolo, implicated Braskem in the corruption scandal surrounding Petrobras. Braskem paid at least $5 million annually to Petrobras between 2006 and 2012, according to a testimony made by former Petrobras executive Paulo Roberto Costa and self-confessed money launderer Alberto Youssef, as reported by Folha de S. Paolo. The payments were made to acquire crude derivative contracts like propylene and naphtha at cheaper prices. On this news, shares of Braskem fell over 20% on March 11, 2015, damaging shareholders.
