Overview
- The Defense Ministry said the mission to bring Nadine Heredia to Brasília cost R$345,013.56, disclosing the figure in response to a formal request from federal deputy Marcel van Hattem.
- The FAB used an E-135 Shuttle (VC-99C) with a six-member crew, flying Brasília–Cuiabá–Lima and back on April 15–16, with Heredia arriving on April 16.
- Costs were itemized as R$318,009.20 for logistics, R$7,547.62 in crew per diems, and R$19,456.74 in airport fees.
- The Air Force had placed a five-year secrecy label on the operation’s costs in June, and officials noted the flight was authorized via the Foreign Ministry with no prior cost estimate.
- Transparency International–Brasil condemned a reported decision by STF minister Dias Toffoli deeming Odebrecht system evidence unusable and extending that understanding to Heredia, intensifying concerns over cross-border corruption cases.
