Luisélio Salvaterra Pinto petitioned the Office of the Attorney General of São Tomé and Príncipe and asked the Coordination Commission for the Public Procurement System (COSSIL) to review the process linked to a fuel supply contract with Trafigura Pte Ltd, according to Telanon.
He asked the authorities in particular to verify the three international tenders mentioned in publicly circulated documents, whether a contract exists and its financial terms, as well as the use of a financing facility of up to 20 million euros.
