SAO PAULO (AP) — Brazil’s federal police on Thursday formally accused 16 current and former employees of airline Voepass for the Aug. 9, 2024 crash that killed all 62 people on board the plane. Investigators named several acts of alleged malpractice, omission and negligence by the company.
Voepass owner and president José Luiz Felicio Filho was among those formally accused in the accident that took place in the city of Vinhedo, outside Sao Paulo. Local prosecutors must still decide whether he and the other accused will be charged at a date to be determined.
