Brazil AGU sues fuel distributors and gas stations for price hikes, seeks R$63.8M

Brazil's Attorney General's Office filed 20 public civil actions against fuel distributors and resellers, alleging abusive price increases that undermine federal fuel price reduction policies. The lawsuits seek R$63.8 million in collective moral damages, based on inspections and technical assessments. This marks a legal escalation in the government's effort to control fuel prices, potentially signaling increased regulatory pressure on the sector.
