Overview

  • Relator Jhonatan de Jesus suspended the in-person inspection of Central Bank records at least through the court recess.
  • TCU president Vital do Rêgo stated the tribunal will not reverse the liquidation of Banco Master and said any reversal is a matter for the Supreme Federal Court.
  • The Central Bank liquidated Banco Master in November 2025 after the Federal Police’s Compliance Zero operation, citing management fraud and about R$11.5–12.2 billion in fictitious or diverted credits.
  • The Central Bank appealed the monocratic inspection order as requiring collegial approval, and TCU leadership said a document-access protocol will be set with the Bank during the recess.
  • The Federal Police will open an inquiry into alleged paid influencer campaigns targeting the Central Bank and defending Master, as criminal and administrative investigations proceed.
