Toffoli Sets Two-Day Hearing Block in Banco Master Probe

The relator compressed the Federal Police’s six-day plan into two days because of staffing limits at the court.

Overview

  • Hearings on January 26–27 at the STF in Brasília, partly by videoconference, will follow a PF schedule approved by the minister.
  • Eight witnesses are set to testify, including Dario Oswaldo Garcia Junior, André Felipe de Oliveira Seixas Maia, Henrique Souza e Silva Peretto, Alberto Felix de Oliveira, Robério Cesar Bonfim Mangueira, Luiz Antonio Bull, Angelo Antonio Ribeiro da Silva, and Augusto Ferreira Lima.
  • Defense lawyers now have access to the sealed case files, and the court ordered rooms, staff support and access links for the sessions, with the Attorney General notified.
  • Banco Master controller Daniel Vorcaro will not be heard in this round after a December 30 statement and an acareação with former BRB president Paulo Henrique Costa.
  • The inquiry examines alleged fraudulent and reckless management plus a criminal organization tied to about R$12 billion in disputed credit portfolios, after 42 searches and roughly R$5.7 billion in asset blocks that prompted public criticism of the court’s handling by the PF delegates’ association.
