According to common sense, Rubens Ometto Silveira Mello should be the last person to criticize any of the Powers of Brazil. As controller of Cosan – a conglomerate with gas, railway and fuel distribution companies – Ometto is perhaps the most regulated businessman in Brazil.

Echoing this growing sentiment, Ometto stated in an interview with “Brazil Journal” that, “the way things are, I’m going to have to put my foot on the brake.” “Serious companies can no longer afford to pay this interest rate and pay taxes the way this country is doing,” he said.
