Brazil antitrust body archives probe into fuel resale syndicate, suspends case against software firm

Brazil's CADE archived an investigation into Minaspetro, a fuel resale syndicate, over its suggestion of the Aprix pricing software, which is suspected of enabling anticompetitive coordination in the fuel resale market. The case against the software developer, Intelprice, is suspended following a leniency or settlement agreement with the antitrust authority. This marks a procedural step in an ongoing antitrust enforcement effort, with the software's role still under scrutiny.
