TCU Chief Defers Any Banco Master Reversal to STF as Minister Weighs Retreat on BC Inspection

TCU staff plan a 30-day review of Central Bank files, pending resolution of the bank’s challenge.

Overview

  • The TCU president said only the Supreme Court could undo Banco Master’s liquidation, with the audit court limited to assessing the legality of the Central Bank’s actions.
  • TCU plans a technical inspection of Central Bank documents that is expected to take about 30 days to complete.
  • The Central Bank filed an appeal on January 5 arguing the inspection order should be a collegial decision under TCU rules, and the appeal has not yet been analyzed.
  • According to Valor’s reporting based on tribunal sources, Minister Jhonatan de Jesus is expected to backtrack on the urgent inspection order, with a new dispatch anticipated today and a likely pause until the end of the court recess.
  • Senator Alessandro Vieira asked the Prosecutor-General’s Office to open an investigation into the TCU minister’s conduct in the case.
