PF indicts 16 employees and former employees of Voepass In addition to indicting 16 people criminally for the crash of the Voepass flight that killed 62 people in Vinhedo (SP), in August 2024, the final report by the Federal Police (PF) points out that the National Civil Aviation Agency (Anac) was already aware of a series of irregularities at the airline and suggests that the Federal Public Ministry (MPF) investigate any responsibilities of the regulatory body. According to the final investigation report, presented this Thursday (6), documents from Anac itself and notes from the Aeronautical Accident Investigation and Prevention Center (Cenipa) indicate that problems identified at the airline were known to the authorities, yet the company remained in operation. Such deficiencies of the regulatory body were also highlighted by Cenipa in its report, which suggests the possibility of poor performance by Anac, says the report. Furthermore, the PF determines that the files will be forwarded to the institution's Regional Inspectorate in São Paulo to investigate possible crimes of malfeasance or passive corruption privileged by a member of Anac. Anac says that Voepass made 2,600 flights with planes without adequate maintenance after the tragedy in Vinhedo 16 indicted The final report indicted 16 people, including the company owner, directors and operational employees.
