The claim
Governo federal teria comprado drones para causar incêndios no país
Original review summary
The review says the video showed an IGNIS drone used for controlled burns, not evidence that the federal government bought drones to start fires. It reports that the government’s transparency portal had no purchase or sale records for the equipment, and that both the manufacturer and the government’s communications office denied that the federal government had acquired it.[S1]
Additional context
The review describes controlled burns as a preventive practice: burning a designated area can reduce fuel and help limit the spread of later fires. [S1]
The review reports that Brazil recorded a series of fires in August, prompting the presidency to request a Federal Police investigation amid suspicions of criminal activity. [S1]
