RIO DE JANEIRO/BRASILIA - Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro said on Tuesday that mysterious oil slicks polluting northeastern beaches likely had criminal origins, without explaining further.
“If it was a shipwreck, oil would still be coming up. It is more probable that something was dumped there criminally,” Bolsonaro told reporters. The oil has washed up in recent weeks on more than 100 beaches in nine northeastern states from Maranhao to Bahia. Its origin has generated an array of speculative explanations amid growing environmental concern.
