SAO PAULO (Reuters) - Brazilian construction conglomerate Odebrecht SA [ODBES.UL] has agreed to pay 161.9 million reais (£32.8 million) to Centrais Eletricas Brasileiras SA (SA:ELET6) in a deal with authorities to help settle corruption allegations against it, according to a securities filing on Wednesday.

Eletrobras, as the state-run power holding company is known, said the payment refers to losses in relation to the construction of Santo Antonio and Belo Monte hydroelectric dams. In 2016, Odebrecht acknowledged in a leniency deal that it had bribed officials in a dozen countries to secure public works contracts.
