MPF Sues Five Individuals and Two Transport Firms Over Anti-Democratic 2022 Dutra Blockades

Overview

• The civil action names Tiago Rosa Silvestre, Fabio Henrique da Conceição, Admilson Pereira da Silva, Abílio Carneiro Nunes, Elisangela Vendramin Amaral, Todacarga Transportes Ltda, and Truck Simone Ltda.
• The complaint centers on blockades from October 31 to November 2, 2022, between Jacareí and São José dos Campos, including abandoned vehicles at km 161, stoppages near km 281A, and impediments around the Revap refinery.
• MPF seeks collective moral damages of R$5,000 to R$40,000 per defendant, calibrated to each person’s participation, the severity of harm, and the vehicles used.
• Three defendants are described as movement leaders with influence over other transport professionals, according to the filing.
• The suit also references a March 2021 blockade in the same region that allegedly included cutting fuel hoses and brake systems, and the case now awaits judicial proceedings as outlets seek comment from those named.
