"Brazil’s federal police recently pulled back the curtain on a criminal web
that had infiltrated the country’s fuel distribution chains. What looked like
ordinary gas stations were, in fact, outposts of a vast laundering machine,
washing dirty money with diesel and ethanol. According to Justice Minister
Ricardo Lewandowski, more than 1,000 service stations across the country were
overseen by organised crime syndicates.
The plot thickened when Rio de Janeiro’s state police launched raids against
the so-called “fuel mafia”, dismantling a racket that sold millions of liters
of adulterated fuel. In the process, they revealed a network of ghost companies
churning out fake invoices."
