Toffoli Authorizes Federal Police Experts to Examine Banco Master Seizures Under PGR Custody

The order grants PF forensic access at the PGR following days of shifting directives over evidence custody.

Overview

  • The seized phones and computers remain under the PGR’s Sppea, which says it has the tools and experience to extract and analyze data from the devices.
  • Dias Toffoli named four Federal Police forensic experts and granted them free access to the material so they can accompany data extraction at the PGR.
  • The Federal Criminal Experts Association warned that delays or exams outside official criminalistics units could cause loss of relevant digital traces and invite chain‑of‑custody challenges.
  • The second phase of Operation Compliance Zero yielded 39 phones, 31 computers, 30 firearms, R$645,000 in cash, and 23 vehicles valued at about R$16 million, with 42 search warrants in five states and asset blocks exceeding R$5.7 billion.
  • Toffoli also removed secrecy from the decision authorizing the latest operation, as investigators describe a scheme exploiting capital‑markets vulnerabilities through investment funds and related‑party transactions.
