Senate vice-president Eduardo Gomes (PL-TO) indicated an imminent decision on multiple investigation requests into the Banco Master scandal, following months of broad support across parties. Discussions among party leaders and Senate President Davi Alcolumbre are set for next week.
In an update on VEJA's Ponto de Vista program, Senate vice-president Eduardo Gomes (PL-TO) stated that Congress is close to deciding on CPI and CPMI requests related to the Banco Master case, which involves banker Daniel Vorcaro and allegations of fabricated assets worth R$ 12 billion, leading to the bank's liquidation by the Central Bank.
This follows earlier reports of strong backing for three initiatives: a Chamber CPI led by Rodrigo Rollemberg (PSB-DF) on BRB negotiations; a mixed CPMI by Carlos Jordy (PL-RJ) on funds and irregularities; and Senate CPIs including one by Eduardo Girão (Novo-CE) and another by Alessandro Vieira targeting STF ministers' conduct.
Gomes highlighted the need for coordination between Senate President Davi Alcolumbre, Chamber President Hugo Motta, and party leaders before advancing any commission. "There is a CPI request in the Senate, another in the Chamber, and a mixed CPI. This requires deliberation," he said.
Congress is monitoring Federal Police and Public Prosecutor's Office probes while asserting its oversight role. A final choice on which commission proceeds is expected post-leader discussions.
