Airfield: Reporter accuses PSDB member of omission in defending Aécio.

Mines 247 – The dismissal of the investigation by the Public Prosecutor's Office of Minas Gerais into the construction of an airport on land belonging to relatives of former governor and current senator Aécio Neves (PSDB-MG), in the municipality of Cláudio, "does not erase the facts raised and proven in a legitimate and independent journalistic investigation," writes reporter Lucas Ferraz in Folha de S. Paulo.

He was the author of reports on the case and, in an article this Sunday the 22nd, accuses federal deputy Domingos Savio (PSDB-MG) of "deliberately omitting and falsifying information that was published" to defend his ally Aécio Neves in a text published in the same newspaper a week ago, when the politician demanded redress from the senator, who, according to him, had been wronged by a "false accusation". He classifies the report as "fiction".

"In defending his ally, the president of the PSDB in Minas Gerais deliberately omits and falsifies information that was published in this newspaper. This is especially concerning given his parliamentary work, which is intertwined with the history of the airfield: the congressman named the site, through a law approved in the Minas Gerais Legislative Assembly, after the late Oswaldo Tolentino, one of Aécio's great-uncles and brother of Múcio, the owner of the land expropriated for the airport," writes Lucas.

"The dismissal of the case, which in itself means nothing, does not erase the facts raised and proven in a legitimate and independent journalistic investigation. The funny thing is that the second investigation by the Minas Gerais Public Prosecutor's Office, initiated after the Folha's revelation, ignored all the elements presented in the report. Perhaps the prosecutors have some explanation," adds the journalist.
