Rollemberg Says He Has the 171 Signatures to Launch Banco Master CPI

Formal proceedings await a reading by Chamber President Hugo Motta due to the congressional recess.

Overview

  • Deputy Rodrigo Rollemberg announced he has gathered the minimum 171 signatures required to request a Chamber CPI on the Banco Master case.
  • The proposed inquiry would examine alleged financial fraud tied to Banco Master and losses at BRB, with probes citing a scheme above R$12 billion and a BRB shortfall exceeding R$4 billion.
  • Installation depends on the request being read by Chamber President Hugo Motta, a step unlikely before Congress returns on February 1.
  • Operation Compliance Zero by the Federal Police has already arrested Banco Master owner Daniel Vorcaro and others, and the BRB board was removed.
  • The investigation is centralized at the Supreme Federal Court under Justice Dias Toffoli, while opposition lawmakers say they have the signatures for a parallel mixed committee (CPMI).
