After holding the record for the largest corruption related fine, $2.6bn paid to three countries, for a short few months, the Brazilian construction giant Odebrecht was overtaken by the Brazilian meat processing giant J&F Investments which clocked in with a $3.2bn fine in April.

But Odebrecht is not out of the woods yet, as it may face additional penalties for its Americas-wide institutionalized program of bribery and corruption.
