Operação Carbono Oculto Links Three Official ‘Posto Corinthians’ Sites to PCC Targets

The oil regulator signaled it will notify companies over registration mismatches that could trigger permit revocations.

Overview

  • New g1 cross-checks of Receita Federal and ANP records identified three officially branded Posto Corinthians units in São Paulo’s East Zone tied to investigation targets Pedro Furtado Gouveia Neto, Himad Abdallah Mourad and Luiz Ernesto Franco Monegatto.
  • Reporters tallied at least 251 fuel stations connected to 16 individuals targeted by the operation across four states, underscoring the network’s scale.
  • The ANP said discrepancies between tax and operating registries constitute an irregularity, citing the Mega Líder site’s differing filings, and it will issue notifications with possible administrative proceedings that could end authorizations.
  • Court documents portray Mohamad Hussein Mourad as a central figure in an alleged PCC scheme involving organized crime, money laundering and fraud exceeding R$ 8.4 billion, with search-and-seizure orders executed against named associates.
  • Corinthians said it only licensed the brand and does not run the stations, is monitoring the case and may take legal measures, as São Paulo prosecutors also examine potential PCC infiltration in past club administrations.
