SAO PAULO (AP) — Brazil’s justice ministry is asking the nation’s main hotel chains to explain the high prices for rooms during the 2014 World Cup.

The request comes after several complaints from consumer advocates and a study by the country’s tourism board that showed exorbitant prices will be charged during the monthlong tournament.

Among the companies notified by the ministry are Accor, Choice, Louvre, Blue Tree, Nacional Inn, Wyndham, IHG and Bourbon. The Brazilian Association of the Hotel Industry also was notified.

The ministry said Friday the companies have 48 hours to respond to the request.
