Brazil VP Alckmin calls for investigation into Sabesp privatization

Brazilian Vice President Geraldo Alckmin has publicly called for an investigation into the privatization of Sabesp, the São Paulo state water utility, citing that despite being one of the world's most valuable companies, it attracted only one interested buyer. This marks a notable political intervention by a senior federal figure into a state-level privatization, potentially signaling increased scrutiny or opposition to the deal. The claim is based on Alckmin's statement, with the underlying facts of the privatization process yet to be independently verified.
