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.
Federal District Governor Celina Leão (PP) sent an official request on Tuesday (April 28) to the National Treasury seeking Union guarantee for a R$6.6 billion loan to BRB, a bank in crisis due to operations with Banco Master. The move aims to restore the institution's solvency and liquidity, controlled by the DF government.
