A federal police officer said Saturday the woman was arrested Friday at Sao Paulo's International Airport after arriving on a plane owned by Venezuela's state oil company. He said she told officials that the briefcase and revolver belonged to Elias Jaua.
Jaua arrived in Brazil one day earlier with his wife and son.
