Braskem Petrochemical from Odebrecht Group Has Activities Halted by the Federal Public Ministry of Alagoas and Is Considering a Move

While the MPF-AL investigates the causes and damages to the environment and properties in the neighborhoods of Pinheiro, Mutange, and Bebedouro, Braskem will have all its activities halted; the suspension began on May 9.
The petrochemical company was conducting mining activities in Maceió, Alagoas, when a report from the National Geological Service indicated signs of soil compromise since 2018, leading the Court of Justice of Alagoas to order a “preventive” freeze of up to US$ 25.45 million in the company’s financial assets.

Concerns about the company’s situation, which is purchasing raw materials from abroad to honor contracts, were expressed by President Fernando Musa, who stated that if the company’s activities do not return to normal within six months, it will have to leave the state of Alagoas.

According to Federal Public Prosecutor Niedja Kaspary, there was a failure in the company’s oversight by IMA (Environmental Institute) of Alagoas, while Governor Renan Filho stated there was nothing abnormal in the oversight; the reality is that everyone is hoping for a favorable outcome for the state.
