Toffoli Flew to Peru With Banco Master Lawyer Before Taking Control of Probe

Overview

• O Antagonista reports that Dias Toffoli traveled to Lima on businessman Luiz Oswaldo Pastore’s private jet days before issuing key rulings in the Banco Master case.
• The same flight included lawyer Augusto Arruda Botelho, who represents Banco Master compliance director Luiz Antonio Bull, arrested in the Federal Police operation.
• After a petition from Arruda Botelho, Toffoli authorized Bull’s defense to access all documented evidence in the Federal Police investigation relevant to the client.
• Toffoli determined that any new investigative measures would be submitted in advance to the Supreme Federal Court, removing that role from Federal Justice.
• He maintained “maximum secrecy” over the case, stating the measure aimed to prevent leaks that could hinder ongoing investigations.
