Abogado deja la defensa del expresidente del BRB en medio de negociaciones para un acuerdo de culpabilidad

El abogado Eugênio Aragão anunció el martes 19 de mayo de 2026 que dejó la defensa de Paulo Henrique Costa, expresidente del BRB, durante las negociaciones para un posible acuerdo de culpabilidad en el caso Banco Master vinculado a la Operação Compliance Zero.

En un comunicado a la prensa, Aragão enfatizó que, tras casi 30 años en el Ministerio Público Federal, solo participa en iniciativas legales guiadas por la seriedad y la responsabilidad. Afirmó que un acuerdo de culpabilidad solo se consideraría con pruebas consistentes e inequívocas.

Aragão, quien trabajaba junto al abogado Davi Tangerino, estuvo menos de un mes en el caso. Costa ha estado detenido desde su arresto el 16 de abril por su supuesta implicación en fraudes vinculados al Banco Master. El ministro André Mendonça del STF autorizó el traslado de Costa el 8 de mayo al 19º Batallón de la Policía Militar en el Distrito Federal. Las investigaciones indican que Costa presuntamente ocultó propiedades recibidas como sobornos, valoradas en 146,5 millones de reales.
