If Brazil keeps this charade up, there won’t be much of a line-up for the next round of bidding!

SAO PAULO — Federal police have concluded their probe into an oil spill off the Brazilian coast last month and are recommending that prosecutors charge oil companies Chevron and Transocean with crimes against the environment, a top official said Thursday.

Authorities also asked that charges be filed against 17 people for failing to provide information to the police, said Fabio Scliar, head of the Federal Police department’s environmental affairs division.

Among them is George Buck, chief operating officer for Chevron Corp.’s Brazilian division. If indicted and convicted, he and the others could face jail terms of up to 14 years each, Scliar said.
