• According to the CPI’s vice-president, Costa was taken to Federal Police custody overnight and will face a custody hearing that could set bail on Tuesday.
• Costa attended under a habeas corpus from STF Minister Luiz Fux, declined to sign a truth pledge, frequently remained silent, and the session was briefly paused when he fell ill.
• The committee cited large money flows through firms like Prospect and ACCA in 2023–2024; Costa denied being Antunes’s partner but acknowledged transfers of R$5 million to Curitiba Consultoria and R$1.8 million to Vênus Consultoria, and the CPMI scheduled Antunes to testify on September 25.
