The Federal Police and ANVISA, the National Agency of Sanitary Surveillance, yesterday toured two containers from the United States. These containers containing medical waste and landed at Suape in Pernambuco. There are anticipated actions of the prosecutor to return the waste to the country of origem.o waste was imported by a company in Santa Cruz do Capibaribe.

Remember that this is not the first time, and has occurred frequently over the years. In 2009 a cargo of more than 100 tons were seized in ports in Rio Grande do Sul and São Paulo. This junk came from Europe and after survey after timeout, it was returned to Europe.
