After a sequence of attacks, in a flagrant attempt to call into question the liquidation of , the president of the Federal Court of Auditors, Vital do Rêgo, and minister Jhonatan de Jesus, rapporteur of the case, decided to hold back the inspection of documents scheduled to take place at the headquarters of . The plenary will decide.
The idea of reversing the liquidation process was also ruled out – which was already known, moreover, to be technically unfeasible, although for many politically desirable.
The atypical behavior of the two characters, marked by a lot of haste and at least controversial advances regarding what would be acceptable within the scope of the court’s duties, caused justified apprehensions.
A kind of plot orchestrated between several instances configured a factional action in favor of the banker Daniel Vorcaro, the former president of BRB Paulo Henrique Costa and interests —to use the expression of economist Arminio Fraga— present in the “four corners of the Republic”.
Only the usual hounds and suspects could affect the non-existence of criminal threats in the face of a situation that has been piling up blatant signs. Otherwise, let’s see.
We already had, months ago, the Chamber’s attempt to vote on a project that would allow Congress to do so.
It was also known that figures such as the governor of Rio, Cláudio Castro, and the president of the Senate, Davi Alcolumbre, favored investments from pension funds from the state of Rio de Janeiro and Amapá in Master.
In sporting terms, a trip to Lima was recorded, on a private plane, by Minister Dias Toffoli with the lawyer who was preparing to take on the defense of one of the bank’s directors. They went to support Palmeiras in the Libertadores.
Soon after came the minister’s dubious decision to call the case to the STF and impose total secrecy. Subsequently, the magistrate decided to promote, at the end of the year, a meeting between Vorcaro, Costa and the BC director of inspection — partly reformulated given the general indignation.
This script was spiced up with the revelation by journalist Malu Gaspar about a contract between Master and the law firm of minister Alexandre de Moraes’ family, which would yield .
The arrival on the scene was the ordinary cherry in the indigestible cake that was put in the oven, in anticipation of the miracle of its transmutation into pizza.
Now we have an investigation into influencers, who were allegedly hired to damage the BC’s image.
As it is, it is not difficult to notice behind these skirmishes of the Master’s Friends the hand of the center and glimpse that other, no longer so invisible, organized crime. It is not insignificant that Vorcaro’s frauds were detected in connection with funds also instrumentalized by the PCC.
The TCU, it should be noted, is not a “court” linked to the Judiciary. It is an assistant (and a hanger) of the Legislature to monitor public spending.
Thanks to the reactions, and now finally with the actions of the Lula government, which remained absent, the disasters promoted by the Friends of the Master are being contrasted. For now the boil is going down. The crisis, however, seems far from over.
