Registros documentam liberação de bagagens sem raio-x em voo com Motta e Ciro Nogueira; PF apura prevaricação e descaminho

Documentação obtained by the investigation points to a federal revenue auditor releasing baggage without X-ray inspection on a flight that transported political operators linked to the PP leadership, including the chief of staff of Chamber President Arthur Lira. The incident, recorded in official logs, now forms part of a Federal Police inquiry investigating possible prevarication and smuggling offenses.

According to records from the episode, suitcases belonging to congressman Aguinaldo Ribeiro, a former minister and current PP leader in the Senate, were cleared without undergoing the standard customs inspection procedures normally applied at airports. Ciro Nogueira, federal deputy and current leader of the PP bloc in the Chamber of Deputies, also flew on the same route. The irregularities in the clearance process were documented in internal books, raising questions about possible privileged treatment.

The investigation, conducted by the PF, examines whether the auditor acted in violation of his legal duties, providing unauthorized facilitation in customs procedures. The crimes of prevaricação and descaminho carry penalties ranging from administrative sanctions to criminal prosecution, depending on the proven intent and material benefit involved. The scope of potential consequences for those directly and indirectly implicated remains under judicial assessment as the inquiry progresses.
