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.

Desembargador Roberval Belinati of TJDFT suspended on March 17 an injunction blocking the use of public properties as collateral for BRB loans to cover Banco Master losses. This follows the DF Assembly's approval on March 3 and Governor Ibaneis Rocha's sanction on March 10 of a law authorizing up to R$ 6.6 billion in operations. The ruling responds to an appeal by the Distrito Federal government, BRB's majority shareholder.
