Overview
- The PF executed a search of Senator Jaques Wagner’s Brasília residence that produced US$49,000, a seizure publicized on Friday, July 3, 2026.
- Director-general Andrei Rodrigues said the force will not impose a moratorium on operations during the electoral defeso and will act when there are sufficient investigative elements.
- Rodrigues defended the release of photos of seized cash as part of the PF’s communication standard and said all actions are carried out only after judicial authorization.
- Operation Compliance Zero probes alleged bribes linked to former banker Daniel Vorcaro and Banco Master, including a R$2.5 million apartment and R$3.5 million in payments to a company tied to Wagner’s stepson.
- Authorities expect Compliance Zero and related probes such as Sem Desconto to keep advancing into the election period, a development that could widen political exposure and prompt further searches and charges.
