Overview
- Minister Jhonatan de Jesus granted effect to the Central Bank’s challenge and froze the planned in‑person review of BC records tied to the liquidation of Banco Master.
- The matter will be decided by the TCU plenary after the recess, with the first 2026 session scheduled for January 21, according to Valor.
- TCU president Vital do Rêgo stated that reversing the liquidation will not happen, signaling that any attempt at 'desliquidação' is off the table.
- The Central Bank argued that an inspection of this scope requires a collegial decision; the relator defended his authority but cited the case’s public dimension in pausing the order.
- The Federal Police are investigating contracts to pay influencers to attack the BC and defend Master, and the MPTCU asked the TCU president to seek PF information relevant to the case.
