According to people who participated in the meeting, the option for Khoury’s luxurious apartment, in Vila Nova Conceição, a prime area of ​​the capital, was due to the desire to have a more private meeting. In addition, the ease of access to the apartment also counted in favor.

He also claims that Nunes attends the Cathedral of Our Lady of Lebanon and that they have known each other since the time when the emedebista was councilor.
