This information was provided by ‘Jornal Económico’, which had access to a document that revealed that there was a restructuring plan model with omitted information, including that there was a binding offer to acquire M&E Brasil (TAP Manutenção & Engenharia Brasil). By ITA Transportes Aéreos Ltda, if accepted, the government will bear the cost of 110 million euros.
