About two weeks before publication of IstoÉ magazine criticizing AEL, its author had called during the morning, asking names, salaries and selection criteria and giving the company time to respond until noon.
The next day our press office sent the following reply:

Your employees and members of its board are selected based on their professionalism, their contribution to society and the Defense Industry in Brazil. We are proud to participate in projects that require advanced technology and generate international recognition."

The way the author wrote his ideas on that article induces some people to believe in irregularities that absolutely don´t exists.
