Parallel to Cenipa's work, the Federal Police is conducting an investigation to determine whether there were crimes and those responsible for the tragedy. At the end of June, family representatives had access for the first time to the transcript of conversations recorded in the aircraft cabin. The document is part of the report produced by the National Institute of Criminalistics (INC), which is the basis for the PF investigation. The conversations were expected because they could help clarify the final moments of the flight, including whether the pilots commented on or activated the deicing system — one of the hypotheses investigated since the accident. According to lawyers representing the family members, the expectation is that the Federal Police will conclude the investigation soon and forward the case to the Federal Public Ministry (MPF). The report may support possible indictments. Legal action After the conclusion of the PF investigation, relatives of the victims intend to file a class action for civil liability for moral damages. According to lawyer Leonardo Amarante, the measure does not replace individual compensation actions already underway. The intention is to seek accountability from companies, individuals and any institutions that may have contributed, through action or omission, to the tragedy.
