Prosecutor General Paulo Gonet rejected the plea deal proposal submitted by the defense of Paulo Henrique Costa, former president of Banco de Brasília.

The statement was sent to Supreme Federal Court Justice André Mendonça on Thursday evening (25/6). Gonet assessed that the proposal has reduced utility and weak potential efficacy, without providing new information or signaling reimbursement of funds.

Paulo Henrique Costa has been held in preventive detention since April 16 in Operation Compliance Zero. He is investigated for alleged irregularities in transactions between BRB and Banco Master, controlled by Daniel Vorcaro.

The former BRB president allegedly received six properties valued at R$ 146 million as bribes. The PGR and Federal Police had already rejected a similar proposal from Vorcaro. It will now be up to Mendonça to analyze the homologation of the rejection.

What people are saying

Initial reactions on X focus on PGR's rejection of the plea deal from Paulo Henrique Costa, citing low utility and lack of new evidence. News accounts and analysts report neutrally on Gonet's decision, often linking it to the broader Caso Master investigation. Some posts highlight skepticism about the proposal's value and note parallels to prior rejections like Daniel Vorcaro's. High-engagement shares from journalists emphasize the lack of potential for public fund recovery. Diverse users express no strong positive or negative sentiments, sticking to factual summaries.
