Toffoli Keeps Dec. 30 Confrontation in Banco Master Probe, Orders BC Director to Attend

The minister describes the regulator as a non‑target whose presence is crucial to clarify disputed steps.

Overview

  • Federal police will take separate statements from Daniel Vorcaro, Paulo Henrique Costa and Ailton de Aquino before the session and may hold the confrontation only if key divergences emerge.
  • Prosecutor‑General Paulo Gonet sought to suspend the step as premature, but Toffoli rejected the request and maintained the urgency during the judicial recess.
  • The Central Bank is weighing a mandado de segurança to contest the director’s inclusion, and its auditors warn the move personalizes collegial decisions and pressures technical staff.
  • The videoconference is set for Tuesday at 14:00 to confront the Master owner and the ex‑BRB chief, with the BC supervision head present as a non‑investigated participant under case secrecy.
  • Two court officers reportedly sought liquidator Eduardo Félix Bianchini at the bank’s São Paulo office before Christmas, raising expectations he could be summoned as the TCU questions the liquidation’s timing.
