\"Lava Jato\" case / Odebrecht corruption scandal
"[...]las autoridades de Brasil se habían comprometido en revelar el contenido de las delaciones premiadas de unos 80 ejecutivos que laboran o laboraban para Constructora Odebrecht y sus empresas filiales, así como de colaboradores que ayudaron a ocultar dinero sucio que durante años pagó la compañía brasileña a funcionarios de diversos países de América Latina[...]"
Tengo entendido que es una figura legal en la que un acusado acepta brindar declaraciones y cooperar con una investigación a cambio de una rebaja en su pena. Pero no sé cuál sería el equivalente en inglés.
I thought of "informing", but it doesn't quite express the full meaning. "Anonymous informing" it is not, right?
Más contexto: http://rpp.pe/politica/judiciales/5-claves-para-entender-que... (mi documento NO tiene que ver con este enlace; es solo a manera ilustrativa, ya que hay varios países involucrados en el escándalo).
Gracias.

plea and cooperation agreement
Esto es más que una plea bargain ya que el sujeto tiene que colaborar con las autoridades para conseguir su rebaja. Con la plea bargain simple, puede ser que el acusado se reconozca culpable de una infracción menor de la que se le imputa así como cumplir con la asitencia de ciertos programas (control de la ira, deshabituación alcohólica, por ej.) o bien cumplir con la libertad vigilada por haber recibido una condena condicional. Sin embargo la dilación premiada significa que el acusado además tendrá que aportar una información sobre los ilícitos y sus autores de los cuales tenga conocimiento.
Según el enlace que nos has proporcionado, se hace la comparación entre la dilación premiada y la colaboración eficaz del Perú. Esta figura procesal no solo implica una rebaja de la pena sino que el acusado que presta su conformidad debe colaborar con las autoridades que procuran perseguir penalmente a otros delincuentes dentro del mismo ámbito criminal.
Código procesal penal del Perú

a) Haber abandonado voluntariamente sus actividades delictivas;
b) Admitir o no contradecir, libre y expresamente, los hechos en que ha intervenido o se le imputen. Aquellos hechos que no acepte no formarán parte del proceso por colaboración eficaz, y se estará a lo que se decida en el proceso penal correspondiente; y,
c) Presentarse al Fiscal mostrando su disposición de proporcionar información eficaz.
3. El acuerdo está sujeto a la aprobación judicial.
Plea and Cooperation Agreement from a US Fderal District
DEFENDANT’S OBLIGATIONS
A. Waiver of Indictment and Guilty Plea: The defendant will waive indictment by grand jury, waive venue, and plead guilty to a three-count Information, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, charging him with conspiring to conduct the affairs of an enterprise through a pattern of racketeering activity in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1962(d); money laundering in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1957; and price fixing in violation of 15 U.S.C. § 1. The defendant agrees that he is in fact guilty of those charges and that the facts set forth in the Factual Basis attached hereto as Exhibit A are true and accurate.
B. Restitution: The Mandatory Victim Restitution Act requires the Court to order restitution to the victims of certain offenses. If such restitution is ordered, payment should be by cashier’s or certified check made payable to the Clerk of the Court. The defendant understands that this Plea and Cooperation Agreement is voidable by the government if he fails to pay the restitution as ordered by the Court. Defendant further agrees that he will not seek to discharge any restitution obligation or any part of such obligation in any bankruptcy proceeding.
C. Special Assessment: The defendant agrees to pay a special assessment of $300 at the time of sentencing by delivering a check or money order payable to the United States District Court to the United States Probation Office immediately before the sentencing hearing.
D. Agreement to Cooperate: The defendant agrees to cooperate fully with the government and any other federal, state, or local law enforcement agency, as directed by the government. As used in this Agreement, “cooperation” requires the defendant: (1) to respond truthfully and completely to all questions, whether in interviews, in correspondence, telephone conversations, before a grand jury, or at any trial or other court proceeding; (2) to attend all meetings, grand jury sessions, trials, and other proceedings at which the defendant’s presence is requested by the government or compelled by subpoena or court order; (3) to produce voluntarily any and all documents, records, or other tangible evidence requested by the government; (4) not to participate in any criminal activity while cooperating with the government; and (5) to disclose to the government the existence and status of all money, property, or assets, of any kind, derived from or acquired as a result of, or used to facilitate the commission of, the defendant’s illegal activities or the illegal activities of any conspirators.

: Yes there is a quid pro quo involved here that it is not present in a simple plea bargain

Comment: "Thanks a lot, Sandro, for the thorough explanation. However, I must add that the link I provided was only an example, as my document was not really related to the case in Peru, but another country. The Odebrecht corruption scandal is being investigated by prosecutors in several countries. I did end up using David's answer (¡gracias, David!) because my specific doc didn't need that much detail.

Delação premiada
[plea bargaining* (Pen.; PPen.); Cf. plea bargain]
* Atualmente, no Brasil, usa-se a locução plea bargain para explicar aos estrangeiros a nossa “delação premiada”, que é a delação (acusação) realizada por pessoa envolvida no delito e que procura obter o benefício de redução ou mesmo insenção das penas respectivas (De Plácido e Silva, 2006:423). Mas a rigor o denominado plea bargain constitui meio adotado no processo penal norte-americano pelo qual o réu da ação penal se declara culpado de um crime de menor potencial ofensivo, ou de uma dentre várias acusações, em troca de algum benefício por parte do promotor, normalmente uma pena mais branda ou a retirada das demais acusações.
