Rio de Janeiro - A joint operation of the Federal Police (PF) and the Integrated Coordination to Combat Environmental Crime (CICCA), state government, resulted in proceedings against two companies for the distribution of adulterated fuel. The move was made yesterday (4), the neighborhood Jardim Primavera, in Duque de Caxias, in the Baixada Fluminense. The coordinator of CICCA, Colonel Jose Mauricio Padrone, explained that the target was a company that bought fuel in Duque de Caxias Refinery (Reduc), Petrobras, and then mixed with solvent.
"The truck left the Reduc sealed with good fuel, which was then mixed within the company solvent. The gas station, in good faith, bought without knowing who was taking adulterated product. And who ended up suffering from it was the consumer, because the solvent affect the engine. "In the place were seized 5,000 liters of fuel, which will be discarded.
In another distributor in the same street, were caught two tankers with 27,000 liters of anhydrous alcohol. According Padrone, probably the product would be blended with gasoline in amounts greater than the recommended specification, with the purpose of fraud.
The vehicles were sealed and placed at the disposal of justice. In the company had tanks in disrepair, with about 500,000 liters of fuel, which were leaking into the soil, contaminating the environment.
