Toffoli Reverses on Seized Devices in Banco Master Case as Moraes Opens Leak Inquiry

Overview

• Federal Police executed the second phase of Operation Compliance Zero with 42 search warrants across five states, detained Fabiano Campos Zettel at Guarulhos, and targeted businessmen Nelson Tanure and João Carlos Mansur.
• Court orders blocked about R$ 5.7 billion and agents seized luxury goods and cash, while Banco Master owner Daniel Vorcaro remains under house arrest with electronic monitoring.
• After first directing that all seized electronics be sealed and kept at the Supreme Court, Justice Dias Toffoli approved immediate transfer to the Prosecutor General’s Office for extraction and analysis with devices kept charged and offline.
• PF director Andrei Rodrigues told Toffoli the 24‑hour deadline was unworkable due to operational updates to targets’ locations and warned that restricting forensic access risked data loss and hindered the probe.
• Acting as interim STF president, Justice Alexandre de Moraes opened a confidential inquiry into suspected improper access or leaks of ministers’ fiscal data by the tax authority and Coaf, as opposition senators filed an impeachment petition against Toffoli.
