Federal Police disengages delegates who coordinate investigations of the Master case

The Federal Police has decided to remove two delegates who coordinate the investigation of the Master case in the corporation. Daniel Mostardeiro Cola and Wedson Cajé Lopes will be exonerated from the CGRC (General Corruption Repression Coordination, Crimes Financeiros and Lavagem de Dinheiro).

Exonerations have not yet been published in the Official Gazette of the Union. After the officialization of the act, it will be up to the director-general of the Federal Police, Andrei Rodrigues, to indicate the new names to take over the duties.

In the Federal Supreme Court, the Master case is provisionally under review in the office of President Edson Fachin. The magistrate looks forward to sending a report prepared by the Federal Police containing all the references to Court Ministers identified in the course of the investigations.

On October 28, the corporation forwarded to the Supreme a list of indictments relating to one of the stages of the case. On that occasion, the founder of Banco Master, Daniel Vorcaro, former president of the Bank of Brasília, Paulo Henrique Costa, and other 13 people were indicted for financial crimes.

According to the Federal Police, the elements gathered point to the existence of a scheme of financial operations involving portfolios of origin questioned, subsequent production of documents and supposed concealment of ownership and the movement of resources.

Despite the indictment, the Federal Police holds that there are still outstanding diligences. Among the measures are the individualization of the conduct of members of the operational teams of the banks, the completion of bank, fiscal and asset analyses, the examination of seized materials and the deepening of other criminal hypotheses identified during the investigation.
