2023–2025

Flights on aircraft linked to an Itaipú contractor

Allegations

ABC Color reported Alliana’s travel on aircraft linked to a businessman whose company held a major supply contract with Itaipú. The outlet raised conflict-of-interest and influence-peddling questions, without a court ruling on wrongdoing by Alliana.

State of the evidence: ABC Color reporting; any exchange of favours remains unproven.
Legal status — source text: Journalistic concerns; no personal charges confirmed over these flights.
Attribution: Travel benefit and alleged public-contract favoritism concerns.
