Toffoli Upholds Dec. 30 Banco Master Hearing After Rejecting Central Bank Challenge

The justice said the regulator is not under investigation, citing risks to financial stability to justify the urgent hearing.

Overview

  • Minister Dias Toffoli denied the Central Bank’s bid for clarifications and kept the face-off scheduled for Tuesday during the judiciary’s recess.
  • Toffoli affirmed that neither the Central Bank nor supervision director Ailton de Aquino Santos is a target, saying his presence is relevant because the inquiry touches the regulator’s actions.
  • The sealed, police‑led acareação will confront Daniel Vorcaro, ex‑BRB president Paulo Henrique Costa, and the Central Bank supervisor over disputed credit operations.
  • Prosecutor General Paulo Gonet had asked to suspend the proceeding as premature, but Toffoli rejected the request and maintained the timetable.
  • Finance groups ABBC, Acrefi, Febraban and Zetta, with a separate note from Anbima, defended the Central Bank’s technical independence as probes examine alleged fabricated portfolios of about R$12 billion, with reports up to R$17 billion, and the liquidation of Banco Master.
