<blockquote>'..Operation Car Wash, a sprawling investigation that has used plea-bargain deals to trace corruption from a Brasilia gas station to the highest levels of government.

..

..In jailing the country’s top executives, Car Wash has pried open sectors of the economy once available only to a well-connected elite.

Authorities involved with the probe can be confident that the majority of Brazilians are behind them. A whopping 90 percent of citizens want the investigation to continue, even if it means further economic instability, according to an Ipsos poll released last month.

That includes Boccagini, the former Petrobras technician, who hopes her hardship won’t be for naught.

“The Car Wash investigation has to go on, no matter what the costs,” she said. “We have to get to the bottom of it.” '
