SAO PAULO (Reuters) - One of Brazil's largest builders, Andrade Gutierrez, will confess to paying bribes for 2014 FIFA World Cup contracts and business with state-run companies Petrobras and Eletrobras, a newspaper report said on Friday.

Andrade Gutierrez agreed with Brazil's prosecutor-general and other investigators to pay a fine of 1 billion reais (£179 million) in leniency and plea deals covering the company and its executives, the Folha de S.Paulo newspaper said. The paper did not say how it obtained the information.
