TCU Relator Halts Central Bank Inspection in Banco Master Case as Court President Points Reversal to STF

Overview

  • Minister Jhonatan de Jesus suspended the in-person review of Central Bank documents at least for the TCU recess after internal pushback and a formal appeal by the monetary authority.
  • TCU president Vital do Rêgo said the tribunal will not undo Banco Master’s liquidation and stated that only the Supreme Federal Court could decide on any reversal.
  • The Central Bank’s appeal argues that authorizing an inspection must be decided by the TCU collegiately rather than by a single-relator order, and the request remains pending.
  • Senator Alessandro Vieira asked the Prosecutor General’s Office to investigate the relator for possible abuse of authority related to the case.
  • Banco Master was liquidated in November 2025 following a Federal Police probe into alleged large-scale fraud, and financial-sector groups have warned that overreach could threaten the Central Bank’s operational autonomy.
