Shell is to be notified on this day 14. According to the minister, the company will have 24 hours to provide clarification after being notified, and he explains that the purpose of the summons is to obtain more information in an attempt to discover which ship might have been responsible for dumping the material at sea.

Shell stated in a note that the original content of the barrels located on Formosa beach in Sergipe has no relation to the crude oil found on different beaches along the Brazilian coast. According to the company, these are barrels of lubricant for vessels produced outside the country.

Origin

Petrobras states that the crude oil affecting the northeastern coast is neither produced nor sold by Brazil.

Petrobras’ internal report states that the stains polluting Brazilian beaches are a mixture of oils from Venezuela. The Venezuelan government denies any responsibility for the material.

In São Paulo, this Saturday, President Jair Bolsonaro stated that the barrels found in Sergipe may be from a ship that sank “in the past”.

Bolsonaro took to social media to express that the Brazilian government is looking for those responsible for the spread of oil that has affected 139 Brazilian beaches and criticized a supposed lack of engagement from the United Nations (UN) and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) involved in environmental causes.
