Mass. AG announced resolution of diesel price gouging pretending to be biodiesel

In Massachusetts, a Stoughton fuel delivery company, Diesel Direct, LLC, and its chief executive officer and senior vice president will pay $850,000 to resolve allegations that the company knowingly delivered nonconforming petroleum diesel fuel to state agencies while charging for a higher-priced and more environmentally-friendly biodiesel fuel, Attorney General Maura Healey announced. The settlement also resolves allegations that the company failed to comply with its contractually obligated diversity spending requirements aimed at fostering growth and development for women-, minority-, and veteran-owned businesses.
