Discount on Petrobras environmental fines
The Estadão team can access excerpts from the contract between Petrobras and the Government, which should be signed in the future and which are already in the office of Eduardo Fortunato Bim, president of Ibama. If there had been no negotiation regarding the environmental fines, Petrobras would have had to pay around R$58,349 million, however, with the 60% discount, Petrobras' debt was reduced to R$23,339 million.
Petrobras, which is at the top of the list of companies that suffer the most fines for environmental issues applied by the government body, will transfer this amount to the National Public Security Fund of the National Force, which is under the management and execution of the Ministry of Justice and Public security.

Government had announced that it would double resources in environmental inspection bodies
In the last week, when President Jair Bolsonaro had confirmed that he would double the resources in the supervisory bodies, such as Ibama and the Chico Mendes Institute of Biodiversity, the exact opposite of what was announced happened, with new cuts in the budget of the veto bodies.
Ricardo Salles, Minister of the Environment (MMA), announced that an agreement was made between the Government and the Ministry of Economic Affairs to carry out and restore the budgets of the two bodies (Ibama and ICMBio) to the 2021 values and expand the contributions in the bodies of environmental inspection as promised.
The Minister of the Environment also says that around R$ 270 million will be passed on to the two bodies, commenting that the budget of Ibama and ICMBio will be fully replenished with his request to the Government.
