Opposition Seeks PGR and TCU Probes Into Lula’s COP30 Riverboat Lodging as Contract Remains Secret

TCU named Walton Alencar as rapporteur, with costs and guest numbers still undisclosed.

Overview

  • Lula is staying aboard the Iana 3 in Belém during COP30, a vessel rented from Icotur and moored at the Val de Cães Naval Base.
  • Secom said the average daily charge is R$2,647 per person, but the Presidency has not revealed the total cost, the number of guests, or staffing details due to confidentiality tied to security.
  • Deputy Ubiratan Sanderson filed representations to the PGR and TCU alleging possible irregularities and requesting suspension of payments, arguing a Navy ship was set aside for comfort.
  • The TCU accepted the representation and assigned Minister Walton Alencar as rapporteur, while no administrative or judicial decision has been announced.
  • Reporting estimates the Iana 3’s round trip between Manaus and Belém will consume at least 4,000 liters of diesel, and a second boat, Paiva Neto, has served as a support or reserve vessel with local rentals cited at about R$12,000 per day.
