By Pedro Fonseca RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - Brazil's three largest fuel distribution companies are under investigation for fixing prices at the pump, police said on Tuesday, reigniting debate over potential collusion among gas station owners in Latin America's largest oil producer. The firms targeted by the probe are Petrobras Distribuidora SA , a subsidiary of state oil company Petroleo Brasileiro SA ; Ipiranga, a unit of Ultrapar Participaes SA ; and Razen, a Cosan SA and Royal Dutch Shell Plc joint venture. Police in the southern state of Parana were serving eight arrest warrants and 12 search and seizure warrants in connection with the probe in the city of Curitiba, the state capital, according to police.
