Portuguese term
Ganhando Contornos de Verdade
Gostaria de saber a melhor tradução para GANHANDO CONTORNOS DE VERDADE no seguinte contexto:
"O que todos supúnhamos está GANHANDO CONTORNOS DE VERDADE: o esquema de corrupção nas licitações de obras públicas está espalhado por vários setores no país, e não se restringe apenas à Petrobras."
Por enquanto, minhas soluções são as seguintes:
1. "... is being revealed/unveiled".
2. "... is becoming true/is slowly becoming true.
Gostaria muito de ouvir suas sugestões.
Desde já agradeço-lhes a valiosíssima ajuda!! Abraço cordial.
