Senator reiterates CPI request after Master case revelations

Senator Rogério Marinho (PL-RN), a member of the CPMI on INSS, advocated for a specific parliamentary inquiry commission to investigate the Banco Master scandal following new revelations from the breach of Daniel Vorcaro's secrecy. Marinho argues that the case is complex and exceeds the current commission's scope. The presidents of the Senate and Chamber resist opening the CPI.

Senator Rogério Marinho (PL-RN), a member of the CPMI on INSS, reiterated this week the need for a specific CPI to address the Banco Master scandal. In a statement to Folha de S.Paulo, he said: "These are data that cannot be left decontextualized; they must be analyzed and reinforce the need to open a specific CPI".

The CPMI on INSS received information from the breach of Daniel Vorcaro's secrecy, as the bank operated in the payroll loan sector. Marinho emphasized the case's complexity, involving "misappropriation of financial system resources, CDBs without backing, reckless use of the guarantee fund, promiscuous negotiations with the Central Bank". He added: "This information exceeds the scope of this CPI. The Master case is much more complex [...] This should not be treated laterally".

Marinho argued that requesting a Master CPI is "a bet on rationality" and Parliament's complementary role to the Judiciary. However, the presidents of the Senate, Davi Alcolumbre (União Brasil-AP), and the Chamber, Hugo Motta (Republicanos-PB), resist authorizing the commission. For now, the case is being investigated by the CPIs on INSS and Organized Crime.

The Banco Master scandal has gained new dimensions with recent revelations, but no additional confirmed details on contradictions or specific resolutions are available in the sources.

Requests to create CPIs to investigate the Banco Master scandal have support from opposition, centrals, and even Lula government allies. There are three requests with sufficient signatures, but installation depends on Congress presidents' decision. The focus includes BRB negotiations and irregularities in investment funds.

The president of the CPMI do INSS, Senator Carlos Viana, announced he will appeal the STF decision allowing banker Daniel Vorcaro not to testify before the commission. The Federal Police presented updates on the Banco Master investigations to Minister André Mendonça in a meeting on Monday. Lawmakers criticize delays in sending broken secrecy documents to the CPI.

Senate President of the INSS CPMI, Carlos Viana (Podemos-MG), announced the summons of bankers Daniel Vorcaro and Luiz Félix Cardamone Neto for depositions on February 5. The hearings are part of investigations into frauds in payroll loans to INSS retirees. The commission is also seeking to overturn a habeas corpus to hear Maurício Camisoti.

STF Justice André Mendonça has called a new meeting with the Federal Police for Monday (23) to discuss the progress of investigations into Banco Master and next steps. This follows his assumption of the case's rapporteurship, replacing Dias Toffoli amid controversies. The meeting will include preliminary reports and review of prior decisions.

Congress leadership indicated it may schedule a session in early March to review Lula's veto on the PL da Dosimetria, which reduces sentences for those convicted of coup attempts, provided pressure for a CPI on Banco Master eases. The measure would benefit former President Jair Bolsonaro by shortening his closed-regime time. Leaders seek an agreement with the opposition to avoid reading CPI requests.

Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes denied pressuring the Central Bank president in favor of Banco Master, embroiled in billion-dollar frauds. Reports indicate contacts between Moraes and Gabriel Galípolo, but both claim the meetings addressed the Magnitsky Act. The case has spotlighted judiciary ties and calls for investigation from opponents.

Supreme Court Justice Dias Toffoli has ordered the Federal Police to take statements from individuals investigated in the Banco Master fraud case and Central Bank directors within 30 days. The action aims to clarify allegations and safeguard the National Financial System. The probe was moved to the STF following a defense request from an investigated party.
