Defense presented to the PF and PGR a document in which the founder of Master commits to returning R$40 billion over 10 years
The Federal Police rejected the proposal for a plea bargain from the founder of , . The Attorney General’s Office, however, will still analyze the proposal.
At the beginning of the month, Vorcaro defended the document in which he committed to returning R$40 billion to the PF and PGR, but with payment in installments over 10 years. The assessment in the Federal Supreme Court was that the deadline was “very elastic”which makes it difficult to immediately restore public coffers.
Until then, the strategy of Daniel Vorcaro’s lawyer, José Luis de Oliveira Lima, was to buy time to try, over the next few months or years, to reverse the process. The defense plan consisted of finding loopholes in the investigation to argue possible procedural nullities that could benefit the businessman.
Both in the STF and in the PGR there was already dissatisfaction with the way in which José Luis de Oliveira Lima had presented the collaboration proposal. The technical assessment was that excessive installments remove the effectiveness of asset recovery, one of the pillars of the whistleblower law.
An initial analysis by the PF and PGR on the usefulness of the data and information is necessary to eventually forward the agreement for approval by the STF.
