SAO PAULO ? The Brazilian Federal Police department says it has begun investigating an oil spill in an offshore field operated by oil giant Chevron Corp.
Fabio Scliar is head of the Federal Police department's environmental affairs division. He tells government news service Agencia Brasil that his division began looking into the causes of the spill and its extent on Thursday.
An AP request emailed to the Federal Police asking for an interview with Scliar went unanswered.
In an emailed statement, Chevron spokesman Scott Walker says only that the company "continues to fully inform and cooperate with Brazilian government agencies."
Chevron says that between 400 and 650 barrels of oil have leaked from a well it was drilling off the coast of Rio de Janeiro.
