Comperj fell TCU discovered yesterday that companies were overcharging works at the refinery
Comperj fell TCU discovered yesterday that companies were overcharging works at the refinery

Companies that operated at the Comperj construction site discovered in a cartel of overpricing for products and services.

The TCU just discovered misconduct this Wednesday (5) by companies directly linked to Comperj, which belongs to Petrobras and which overbilled the works in the order of R$ 544 million dilmas (reais). The Court of Auditors ended up expressly determining the blocking of assets of the corporations involved in the embezzlement scheme. Do you want to know which cats are involved? Pay attention to the following list, the worst thing is that there is nothing new, almost all of them are the same companies mentioned almost every time in the media:

The List contains Queriroz GalvãoEngenharia/SA, Technit Engenharia, Construção SA, Alusa, Engenharia, Skanska Brasil LTDA., Promon Engenharia LTDA., Engevix Engenharia SA and Promon. The only one cited by the TCU and whose assets were not blocked was Andrade Gutierrez. As she had already made a previously awarded agreement on account of the Lava Jato operations and have been collaborating with the Federal Police, there was no need for blockages at this time.

The purpose of blocking the assets of the companies mentioned above is to return all the damage to Petrobras, if the corruption investigations prove to be true. Despite this, the TCU gave companies 15 days to present their defenses, otherwise their possessions will remain inactive if this does not happen.

The inspection bodies that analyzed the contracts for the installed units of atmospheric distillation, vacuum, hydrocracking and coking at Comperj, concluded that the diversion scheme was in these plants within the work.

Remembering that this amount of BRL 544 million was from 2010, potentially this amount could be much higher, since in 2015 another audit was carried out.

Hello my dear readers and followers of Click Oil and GasComperj's works are seen as the resumption of hope and much awaited by the citizens of Rio de Janeiro, we hope that these blockages do not directly affect professionals in the sector who have been yearning for the start of an undertaking for a long time.
