According to the general coordinator of the Fup, Deyvid Bacelar, “this is yet another scandal that took place at SIX, where Petrobras provided services to Forbes in a TSA that was not paid, which demonstrates the financial and operational incapacity of this group that bought the Paraná refinery in the Almas Basin,” Bacelar said in a note.
