Brazil’s comptroller general said it had barred builder Mendes Junior Engenharia from public tenders for at least two years on Thursday, making it the first engineering company to be penalized for involvement in the Petrobras corruption scheme.
While a dozen other engineering companies have come forward to negotiate leniency deals with the comptroller general’s office, Mendes did not do so by the deadline last year.
The company will be banned from contracting work with federal, state and municipal governments.
