Amid the Banco Master scandal—marked by its November 2025 liquidation, billion-dollar fraud allegations, and political ties—Folha subscribers demand a Federal Police investigation into implicated politicians and condemn social media attacks on the Central Bank. The TCU president affirms any liquidation reversal lies solely with the STF.
Folha's Reader Panel highlighted outrage over the Banco Master case following recent reports on potential liquidation reversals. Subscribers condemned political interference and called for accountability in Brazil's financial oversight.
Maria Alice Costalonga from São Paulo decried: "What a shame to reverse the liquidation! Isn't the owner's bad character proven?" Fernando Sanches, also from São Paulo, stated: "Evil won." Luzonaldo Augusto from Recife urged: "The PF must investigate and take down the politicians involved in the case. There are many implicated," referencing reports of at least 46 internet profiles launching coordinated attacks on the Central Bank and investigators.
These reactions underscore public demands for transparency amid ongoing probes into frauds, institutional investments, and judicial scrutiny by the STF and TCU.
