Deltan said that granting Lula the right could affect searches in Brumadinho.

247 - The Public Prosecutor's Office's panic regarding the possible attendance of former President Lula at his brother Vavá's funeral was evident in the very wording and speed of the opinion signed by Deltan Dallagnol (the Federal Prosecutor's Office decision came minutes after the Federal Police's opinion). The justification for not granting the defense's request is, broadly speaking, Lula's popular power (which puts 'security' at risk). But what is most striking is the association of the request with the Vale disaster in Brumadinho. The text states: "after consulting the Operational Aviation Coordination of the Federal Police, it was reported that at the moment the helicopters that are not undergoing maintenance are being used to support the rescue of victims in Brumadinho."

The opinion of Deltan Dallagnol and Lava Jato places the discussion in the following perspective: "cAccording to the aforementioned decision, the requested permission to leave is hindered by an insurmountable technical obstacle: the impossibility of, in due time and manner, escorting the detainee, with the necessary safeguards, to his brother's funeral.

And he adds: "nRegarding the logistics necessary for his removal from the cell in Curitiba, with a route passing through the airport of São José dos Pinhais/PR, the airport of São Paulo, and the cemetery of São Bernardo do Campo/SP, in order for everything to be done in a timely manner and with due security, it would be necessary to transport him by helicopter from the headquarters of the Federal Police Superintendency in Curitiba to the first airport, a Federal Police aircraft – with the necessary security and its own pilot – for transport between Curitiba and São Paulo/SP, and another helicopter to the cemetery. Upon consulting the Operational Aviation Coordination of the Federal Police, it was reported that at the moment the helicopters that are not undergoing maintenance are being used to support the rescue of victims in Brumadinho. Furthermore, the fixed-wing aircraft currently available, for safety reasons, could only fly from 6:00 AM on January 30, 2019. The estimated time for the aircraft's arrival from Brasília, its arrival in Curitiba, and from there to Congonhas Airport would require at least 6 (six) hours, considering flight time, runway maneuvers, and refueling in Curitiba/PR. The journey from Congonhas Airport to the São Bernardo do Campo/SP Cemetery would require an additional 2 (two) hours. Given these considerations regarding the means of transportation, which in themselves make fulfilling the request unfeasible, both because the Federal Police helicopters are currently being used in Minas Gerais to assist in the Brumadinho rescue efforts, and because there is insufficient time for the deployment of the only available Federal Police aircraft, the remaining considerations relate to risk analysis and the police personnel that would be necessary for such an escort.
