Counterfeiting automotive lubricating oils
Civilian police officers from the Deic (State Department of Criminal Investigations) arrested two men in flagrante delicto who were carrying out a clandestine operation for bottling petroleum-derived lubricating oils.
The action took place on Monday, July 10, at an industry located in Guarulhos, in Greater São Paulo.
The agents caught the scheme in a shed located on Avenida Monteiro, in the Cumbica region. At the site, 33 drums containing lubricating oil with the brand of a leading company in the market were found. However, the industry did not recognize these batches as being from its production.
