About the operation carried out by the Federal Police in Belém, this weekend, the senator learned this morning through the press. Damares Alves contacted the family and was informed that the complaint to the Federal Police about a suspicious cargo loaded on the aircraft was made by those responsible for the plane, that is, by the Church itself. Then, the Federal Police took over the case and took the appropriate measures,” she said.
