BRASILIA (Reuters) - Engineering conglomerate Odebrecht took out full-page advertisements in Brazil's main newspapers on Friday to apologise to Brazilians for its involvement in the country's biggest ever corruption scandal.

The apology by Latin America's largest engineering firm was received with scepticism in a country with a history of political corruption and crony capitalism, and many Brazilians expressed their anger at the company on social media.
