Brazil forms committee to oversee probe into plane crash that killed 62

Panel expected to call on several key figures in bid to prevent repeat of deadly crash north of Sao Paulo.

Brazil’s Congress has announced the formation of a committee to oversee an investigation into a plane crash earlier this month that killed 62 people.

Lower House Speaker Arthur Lira authorised the installation of a 37-person committee last week, tasked with tracking an inquiry by Cenipa, a body that investigates aviation accidents.

The lower house is expected to decide who to summon to speak before the panel on Tuesday.

“Our intention is not to carry out a witch-hunt,” Congressman Nelsinho Padovani said. “We want to propose measures so it does not happen again.”
