Former president of Rioprevidência is arrested in investigation related to Banco Master

The former president of Rioprevidência, Deivis Marcon Antunes, was arrested this Tuesday (3) in a joint action by the Federal Police and the Federal Highway Police. The information was confirmed by G1.

The arrest takes place just over a week later. On January 23, he resigned from his position after the Federal Police launched an operation to investigate the pension fund of employees of the State of Rio de Janeiro. The investigations focus on investments made at Banco Master.

According to the PF investigation, during the management of Antunes and two other former directors, Rioprevidência invested almost R$1 billion in financial bills issued by Banco Master.

These securities are considered high risk and are not covered by the Credit Guarantee Fund (FGC). In total, nine operations carried out between 2023 and 2024 are under investigation.

For investigators, the applications put at risk the resources intended to pay retirement and pensions for around 235,000 state public servants.

In October 2025, the TCE-RJ prohibited Rioprevidência from making new investments in securities managed by the bank and formally warned of the risk of irresponsible management of pension resources.
