Brazil blames devastating oil spill on Greek-flagged tanker

• Ship carrying Venezuelan crude was only vessel in area at time
• Attorney general's office calls damage to coasts 'immeasurable'

A Greek-flagged ship carrying Venezuelan crude was the source of an oil spill which has tarred thousands of kilometers of coastline over the past two months, Brazilian investigators have announced.

Police said the tanker appears to have spilled the crude about 700km (420 miles) off Brazil's coast between 28 and 29 July, bound for Singapore with oil loaded at Venezuela's San Josi(C) terminal.
