According to a report on the portal UOL, the Lula government hired, without bidding, the company Cataratas Poços Artesianos (Cataratas Artesian Wells) from Boa Vista in the state of Roraima to drill wells in Yanomami indigenous areas.
The wells were destined to supply water to a military base in the region known as Surucucu in Roraima.
The Army signed the contract on March 10 at the request of the Ministry of Health.
According to a survey by UOL, the contract was signed for R$185,000 (US$37,119).
