Federal Police arrested Paulo Henrique Costa, former Banco de Brasília (BRB) president, on Thursday (16) over a bribery scheme tied to Banco Master. This follows earlier investigation revelations, including a note suggesting Costa's efforts to save the bank through credit portfolio purchases amid potential R$5 billion losses for BRB. Costa allegedly received six properties worth R$146.5 million from Daniel Vorcaro to conceal irregularities. The arrest, authorized by STF's André Mendonça, led to transfer to Papuda prison.
