More than 70% of the (Brazilian Air Force) used by the (Federal Supreme Court) since 2023 were expected to take only one minister, according to official data obtained by the report.
As Sheet It showed, the government (PT) passed to. The claim on both sides is the need to ensure the safety of court members after attacks on January 8, 2023.
Passenger names are not disclosed and at least part of this list was confidential by the government for a period of five years.
Of 154 flights used by the STF in the period, 110 appear with the estimate of use of only one occupant. The list of flights made by ministers, obtained via LAI (Access to Information Law), indicates the number of passengers provided for each trip.
The aircraft have been used for private agendas and, in at least one case, with family members. At the end of 2024, and his wife, lawyer Viviane Barci, went through FAB to São Luís (MA) to participate in the.
Although the names of the minister and his companion were not disclosed, a person who accompanied the agenda confirmed the information to the Sheet. The flight was being shared with the Ministry of Ports and Airports, which had the entourage released on the FAB website.
Asked, the Supreme Court said the court members use official security aircraft. The court also stated that trips information is under confidential, according to the decision of the 2024 TCU that allowed the flights of high authorities.
The president of the Supreme, also used an official aircraft to travel to his colleague’s marriage in Maranhão, such as.
His flight departed from Rio, on November 30, 2024, date of the ceremony. The day after the event, a FAB plane went to Campo Grande (MS), where Barroso had an official agenda, and the other to São Paulo, with 4 passengers – informing names.
As Sheet revealed, Moraesde Brasilia to Sao Paulo at the end of March, a day before following the title won by
Before 2023, only the STF president had the FAB planes available. This is because what regulates flights only authorizes a restricted list of authorities to mobilize official trips, such as the presidents of the powers and the ministers of the federal government.
The Supreme Court frequently requested the FAB planes in addition to the existing right of the president, on the grounds of ensuring the safety of other ministers.
Since then, there have been 154 trips made by the ministers who do not occupy the presidency of the Court, all with the list of hidden passengers.
There are still cases where ministers hitchhike on trips requested by other authorities, as members of the federal government – who was already recurring in previous governments. Like the Sheet Showed, Moraes accompanied the Lula administration.
After the TCU authorized the confidentiality of flights of high authorities, even the presence records of the STF ministers on flights requested by other organs are hidden.
Authorities accompanying the STF routine say Moraes is one of the ministers who most use FAB flights. In addition to participating in the court’s agendas in Brasilia, the minister has residence in São Paulo and teaches at USP law school.
There are 145 excerpts in which the federal capital and the paulista were the origin or destination of the flights. In 51 cases, the departure of Brasilia was recorded at the end of a week and the return at the beginning of the following, coinciding with Moraes commitments.
The available data, however, do not allow us to state how many occasions the minister used the aircraft.
The list of flights mobilized by the court also includes a displacement from Brasilia to Sao Paulo on Sunday, September 3, 2024, the day after the federal capital.
Only one passenger was planned. Asked, the Supreme did not confirm whether the trips were related to the weddings. The Supreme Court only said that all requests for “support” of the STF made to the FAB “strictly follow the current legislation, based on Decree No. 10.267/2020”.
“The main motivation for requests is to ensure the security of the authorities based on technical analysis,” the court said.
For the director of transparency Brazil programs, Marina ATJI, the configuration of a standard of use of flights for private purposes is problematic. She considers that the security argument needs to be based on something concrete, such as the scenario in which the Supreme Court has a judgment of great repercussion.
“Using FAB flights as a regular means of transport is exaggeration. Both in the issue of rationalizing public spending and because there are other ways to ensure the minister’s safety in air travel, as is done on travel abroad,” he says.
Investigations on the coup plot against Lula’s inauguration in 2022 indicate that former President Jair Bolsonaro (PL).
In 2023, the minister was still.
In November 2024 one in front of the STF, after, and.
