An aircraft is being investigated after a politician used it several times as an air taxi. The plane, a Piper Seneca V, could not be used as an air taxi, yet the politician in question used it three times.
Federal deputy Charles Fernandes (PSD-BA) used this plane (PP-FRV), at a cost of R$ 45 in three trips. Two were held in February, and one in March, just before the quarantine.
The Seneca V was rented from an individual, César Fernandes Neto, without being hired by an air taxi. In addition, the deputy requested reimbursement from the Chamber of Deputies for the R$ 45 spent.
The information was published by the website O Antagonista, which interviewed the deputy. In his version he confirms the trips, and denies knowing about the irregular situation of the plane for these transports.
Each time the plane flew between Brasília and Guanambi, in the interior of Bahia. The deputy said that he lives in that city, and goes there routinely, but by car.
