The mob that diverts Natural Gas (CNG) is becoming more popular in Sao Paulo. At the end of last year, six posts were caught cheating by diversion of fuel. This year - until August - another 13 cases they identified. The crime, as well as environmental damage (such as contamination of groundwater), can blow up to a quarter, because of the mishandling of fuel.
Fraud is the tampering of the meter of CNG. When the gas is removed from the pipeline are built-passes, instead of going directly to the pump, do not pass the measure and therefore there is no charge for the Gas Company of Sao Paulo (Comgas). It is difficult to reach such people because, unlike gasoline "baptized" there is no direct harm to the consumer gas diverted. There is no impact on fuel quality and therefore almost no complaints.
"The various types of changes are intended to sell without paying the carrier. Clearly it causes unfair competition," said Jose Carlos Broisler Oliver, Director of Operations Comgas. "But these aspects are only part of a much bigger problem. The security at these sites is totally compromised by tampering with the meter. In addition to financial loss, which affects us a lot, the biggest threat is the danger caused by this misrepresentation. Lives are at stake .
The increase in assessments resulting from the series of operations performed by Comgás, State Public Ministry (MEP) and the National Petroleum Agency (ANP). The mapping of the 19 stations closed by the deviation also shows that crime is centered in the Greater Sao Paulo.
Combating irregularities
Under the supervision of the Head of the National Petroleum Agency (ANP), Alcides Amazonas, combating fraud gas will earn a task force. Engage in offensive supervisory prosecutors in Sao Paulo (MP-SP), Comgás and the Municipal Urban Control. "The operations are continuing and we have already been recruited to participate," said Amazonas. According to Luiz Henrique Cardoso Dal Poz, promoter of the prosecutor that deals with investigations into fraud task forces are organized before each operation and, depending on the institutions to be surveyed, are climbing the participating institutions.
Preventively, to combat fraud, says José Carlos Broisler Oliver, Director of Operations Comgás, the company is making the connection of stations by telemetry. "Our operator monitors the activities of that office, and case were stated in very clear variations of consumption points out, fires organs that can perform the operations. This allows surveys to be more continuous and active. No target."
