Alcântara is in the news because of a new agreement between the US and

what was found as root cause, or did it never get less vague that the
articles linked from the Wikipedia article?

Well, Google found me the official report:
http://www.aereo.jor.br/downloads/VLS-1_V03_Relatorio_Final.pdf
but then refused to translate it, saying it was too large. (Lots of
pictures, though, and cutting-and-pasting pieces of text into Google
Translate does work.)
