Master’s CPMI application already has signatures from 198 deputies and 34 senators

Representative Carlos Jordy (PL-RJ) must file a request to establish a Joint Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry (CPMI) to investigate fraud attributed to Banco Master.

According to advisors, the minimum number of signatures required for the protocol has already been reached. Jordy’s interlocutors say that 232 parliamentarians – 198 deputies and 34 senators – have already signed the document. The opening of the CPMI is not automatic and only happens when senator Davi Alcolumbre (União-AP) reads the request in a session of the National Congress.

The request records that the CPMI’s objective is to investigate “the financial frauds attributed to Banco Master, estimated at more than R$12.2 billion, as well as the attempted transfer of these liabilities to public or state-controlled financial institutions, notably the Banco Regional de Brasília (BRB), in addition to the possible participation, omission or interference of public agents, regulatory authorities, members of the Powers of the Republic”.

The document also lists that the group must investigate “possible connections between private managers, financial intermediaries, public agents and authorities”, specifically citing a contract between the liquidated bank and the wife of the minister, Alexandre de Moraes, of the Federal Supreme Court (STF).

Also mentioned are “interlocutions” between Moraes and the president of the Central Bank, Gabriel Galípolo, and the trip made by minister Dias Toffoli to the Copa Libertadores da América Final, in a private aircraft, with lawyer Augusto Botelho.

Jordy maintains that, although criminal investigations into the matter are ongoing, they would not be “sufficient” to cover other issues related to the case: “political and institutional responsibilities, systemic regulatory and supervisory failures, national economic impacts, and the need for legislative improvement to prevent the recurrence of fraud”.
