The federal federal in the Federal District reported three people in a case involving the purchase of an aircraft for the former president and former senator with money that would come from corruption.
The complaint is an offshoot of the process of the one that led to the (Supreme Court).
The scheme pointed out by the Attorney’s Office includes money laundering involving individuals and legal entities and is described as complex. The complaint was filed in December 2024 by prosecutor Wellington Divino Marques de Oliveira.
The accused are, described in the document as “Collor Agent” and accused of money laundering, lawyer Luiz Alberto Spengler, partner at Spengler & Padilha Advogados, also for money laundering, and businessman Ricardo Bueno Salcedo, by active.
Collor was not denounced by this case. During the investigation, the extinction of punishment was recognized. He has benefited from a penalty article that halves the criminal prescription of over 70 years.
The Public Prosecution Service states that, after the complaint offered by PGR in the inquiry in the Supreme Court, it discovered a new criminal fact, not contemplated in the other piece of accusation: the purchase of an aircraft year 2001 in the amount of $ 3 million by the former senator.
The inquiry originated from this discovery sought to investigate the acquisition of the aircraft on suspicion that illicit resources were used, from corruption acts, and washed after complex transfers scheme involving individuals and legal entities, coordinated by Amorim.
From PF investigations on the purchase of the plane, it was concluded that there was “a criminal group that acted in a coordinated manner in the deviations of resources and concealment of equity, obtained with payment of bribes” Collor.
The calculation says that Salcedo would be involved in the payment of R $ 1.1 million to the former senator on May 8, 2015. The objective was for Collor to use his political influence for the granting of the installation license in Ibama for the implementation of the Pontal do Paraná port terminal project, in the interest of Porto Pontal Paraná Import and Export.
Between June 20, 2014 and December 16, 2015, he would be among those who paid R $ 5 million to Collor with the same goal.
The prosecutor says Spengler would be part of the scheme to hide the origin of the appeal. To the PF, he said he received $ 1.1 million for a consultancy. At another end, under the guidance of Amorim, the lawyer transferred the amount of R $ 399,455.31 to the account of former senator Ataídes de Oliveira, who owned the aircraft, to pay the fifth installment of the plane.
To justify the amount, Spengler said the amount was paid at the request of Amorim to pay part of an alleged apartment that had bought this.
The Public Prosecution Service stated that no document was presented to confirm the version and that neither could specify the characteristics of the supposedly negotiated property.
The other $ 5 million would have been paid directly by Salcedo to Collor. A driver, who was not denounced that there was no element on his criminal liability, made 25 withdrawals by discount of checks on the account of businessman João Carlos Ribeiro, totaling R $ 5,247,260.
Ribeiro was also recognized the extinction of punishment, benefiting from the article of the Penal Code that halves the criminal prescription of over 70 years.
