The giant $1m "Christ of the Pacific" statue now watching over Lima...was sculpted, assembled and paid for almost entirely by Brasil's construction conglomerate Odebrecht.

"I have nightmares in which I see that Peru's president is Odebrecht and all we do every five years is elect its representative," tweeted Peruvian playwright Cesar de Maria.
