PODER Joyce Pascowitch magazine cover featuring Jesus Murillo Valle Mendes In the late 1970s, Brazil and Iraq became major commercial partners. The South American nation, then ruled by military dictator Ernesto Geisel, needed oil to run its industrial machine, which was booming at the time. Meanwhile, Iraq needed food, technical support, appliances, automobiles and, perhaps most importantly, engineering services to build and improve its infrastructure, all of these things that the Brazilians were not only able but eager to offer. It seemed only natural that the two countries began trading so feverishly with one another, and a lot of people got rich off of that relationship. One of those people was the former construction tycoon Jesus Murillo Valle Mendes, whose construction empire Mendes Junior was once the third-largest privately-held conglomerate in Brazil. In 1978, Mendes’ companies headed to Iraq backed by the military government and with the approval of Saddam Hussein. Mendes Junior projects in Iraq included the constructions of the Baghdad-Al Qaim-Akashat railway, the Iraq Expressway Number One (the largest controlled-access highway in the Middle East) and a pumping station on the Euphrates River. In total, these projects were estimated to be worth more than $3 billion, and were responsible for the creation of 10,000 direct jobs for Brazilian workers who were recruited to work in Iraq.
