Overview
- The Federal Police confirmed it blocked or limited access for the series’ crews in multiple Brazilian airports, citing constitutional duties, the PNAVSEC program, and ANAC regulations.
- An official letter to the RioGaleão concessionaire, signed by delegate José Paulo Martins Duval, notified that crews cannot be credentialed or enter security areas at Galeão.
- Moonshot Pictures says credentials that had enabled season eight filming at Galeão, Viracopos, and Fortaleza were revoked in January after Guarulhos denied new access.
- Producers argue the show operated for seven seasons with prior approvals and no incidents and have gone to court alleging censorship, with access not restored as of the latest reports.
- Auditors from Unafisco accuse the move of reflecting institutional jealousy toward the Receita Federal’s prominence, a claim the Federal Police reject while denying any interagency dispute.
