13 May 2026 Comércio de Combustíveis Stang Ltda., Pato Comércio de Combustíveis Ltda. u. a. (3 Unternehmen)CADE: fuel cartel in Coronel Vivida – fines cut to BRL 15.1m on embargos €2.63m
The CADE Tribunal convicted three petrol station companies because in 2017 they had divided the lots of municipal fuel tenders in Coronel Vivida (Paraná) among themselves in advance and had also coordinated retail pump prices. The fines on the companies initially totalled 43,953,905.42 BRL (Comércio de Combustíveis Stang 25,801,726.15; a further petrol station company 9,406,784.68; Pato Comércio de Combustíveis 8,745,394.59 BRL). On motions for clarification (embargos) the Tribunal reduced, on 1 July 2026, the fines on Stang to 4,615,849.76 BRL and on Pato to 1,090,682.28 BRL owing to a subsequently arising fact relevant to the calculation, leaving 15,113,316.72 BRL. The amount and the facts have not been confirmed against the primary source.
Dividing lots in public tenders is a cartel infringement carrying heavy fines, even in small municipal procurement.
