Gol flight intercepted in Congonhas; three detained for false documents
A Gol aircraft headed to Brasília was forced to return to the apron at Congonhas Airport in the South Zone of São Paulo on Friday afternoon (30) following a request from the Federal Police. The incident resulted in the arrest in flagrante of three men suspected of involvement with a false incident report presented during boarding, according to reporting by g1.globo.com.
According to the Public Security Secretariat (SSP), two of those detained had presented the false documents, whilst the third was allegedly responsible for arranging the falsification. In total, six people were questioned by police. The other three were released due to lack of evidence indicating involvement in the crimes.
The aircraft was already taxiing for take-off when the pilot informed air traffic control that he would need to return to the apron following a request from the Federal Police.
The concessionaire Aena stated in a note that information about the operation should be obtained directly from the Federal Police, which was responsible for the incident, and added that the incident caused no impact on airport operations.
Gol stated in a note that it would not comment on the case, but said it is available to assist the authorities.
