Party parliamentarians from the New Party filed, on Wednesday (26), a representation in the Federal Court of Audit (TCU) requesting the investigation of possible irregularities in the use of airline tickets in the first lady, Janja. The document questions the legality of the checking class granting for his trip to Rome in Italy in early February.
Janja embarked on February 9, Brasilia to the Italian capital and returned on February 13 in a direct flight to Sao Paulo. According to a survey by congressmen on the Transparency Portal, the cost of the ticket was R $ 34,600.
Legal base and questions
The party argues that the granting of the passage in the executive class does not meet the criteria of Decree No. 10.934/2022, which regulates the issuance of air tickets by the federal government. The text foresees the benefit only for state ministers and high -ranking servants on travel more than seven hours, a category in which Janja does not fit, as it does not occupy a formal position in the structure of the executive branch.
“Decree No. 10,934, of January 11, 2022, provides that only ministers and high -ranking employees are entitled to the benefit of the executive class,” the document says.
The new considers the expenditure “unnecessary and disproportionate” and asks TCU to adopt precautionary measures to avoid new emissions of executive tickets to the first lady. The representation also requests the responsibility of those involved and the reimbursement to the public coffers.
Travel to Rome and Total Costs
In Rome, Janja participated in events of the Global Alliance against Hunger and Poverty and if the group that accompanied the trip included 12 people, including the Secretary of International Finance Affairs, Tatiana Rosito, three advisors of the Minister of Social Development, Wellington Dias, as well as four members of the Presidency of the Republic, three of them linked to the first lady’s informal cabinet.

The costs of the official mission totaled R $ 292,300 between tickets and daily, but some amounts have not yet been disclosed.
The party claims that this is not the first time that Janja travels with public resources with public resources and has advocated the need for a precautionary measure to avoid further undue expenses. The TCU has not yet spoken about the request.
