Brazil has filed criminal charges against Chevron and Transocean in response to their failure to properly halt or prevent a 3,000 barrel leak from an oil rig off the coast of Rio de Janeiro. Brazil had previously filed an $11 billion civil lawsuit against the two companies in response to the same leak. The charges, though unlikely to result in jail time for Chevron or Transocean executives, serve as a warning to other oil companies operating recklessly in Brazil.
Future IELR articles will discuss the comparative criminal law issues in how the United States and Brazil have dealt with major oil spills by some of the same companies.
