After Court Determination, ANP Suspends Authorizations and Strengthens Oversight to Prevent Fueling of Aircraft Linked to Illegal Mining on the Yanomami Indigenous Land in Roraima.

The National Agency of Oil, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP) announced a series of strict measures to combat the irregular fuel supply used by aircraft operating in illegal mining within the Yanomami Indigenous Land in Roraima. The initiative was triggered by a court order that responded to a request from the Federal Public Ministry (MPF).

According to the decision, the ANP must immediately suspend the authorizations of companies suspected of involvement in illegal activities. Additionally, oversight will be strengthened at fuel retail and supply stations, both for aviation and ground vehicles.

MPF Identifies Serious Irregularities in Aviation Fuel Resale

According to the MPF, one of the companies authorized to sell aviation fuel had sold nearly half of its stock—over 860,000 liters—to unidentified buyers. This situation raised alarms about the possible diversion of fuel to supply aircraft linked to clandestine mining.

Joint Operations Strengthen Combat Against Mining and Illegal Distribution

In recent months, the ANP has been working alongside different federal agencies to curb irregularities. In a recent operation, carried out in partnership with the National Public Security Force, the National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC), and the National Land Transport Agency (ANTT), fuel stations and even an airfield in the Boa Vista region were inspected.

These actions, coordinated by the Government House in Roraima, resulted in the issuance of five notices of violation, with one establishment being completely shut down.

Despite the progress, the case is still awaiting a merits judgment to determine if the changes implemented by the ANP will have a permanent character. In the meantime, operations remain active, seeking to interrupt the fuel supply that fuels illegal mining and, consequently, reduce the environmental and social impacts on the Yanomami Indigenous Land.
