Three fuel distributors in Florianópolis were notified by inspectors from the Finance Secretariat during the Formulated Fuel operation, on August 18th and 19th. The reason is tax evasion.



Notification amounts exceed R $ 130 million. The inspectors recommended the cancellation of the state registrations of these distributors in the territory of Santa Catarina.



Ten gas stations were visited. The operation is expected to continue in other regions of Santa Catarina, especially in the coast, where the irregular sale of ethanol was found.
