Why won’t Itamaraty bring a dead Brazilian body in Indonesia?

It is not the responsibility of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to bear costs with body transport. Brazilian law does not allow the government to pay for expenses.

Article 257 of Decree 9,199/2017 vetoes the payment of expenses. Brazil only assists in monitoring accidents, location and repatriation of Brazilians and cases of conflicts and natural disasters, but does not indicate financial disposition for this.

Consular assistance does not comprise the cost of burial and transfer of national bodies and transfer from abroad, nor hospitalization expenses, except for medical items and emergency care in humanitarian situations.
