CIRO AND MASTER
national president of Progressistas (PP), was the target of a search and seizure warrant carried out by the Federal Police on May 7, 2026.
The action is part of a new stage of the operation, which investigates suspected crimes related to Banco Master and Vorcaro. It was the first phase of the investigation to reach the political core of the case.
According to the PF, there is evidence that Vorcaro paid for Ciro’s personal expenses, including meals, international travel and credit card bill payments.
Messages obtained by the investigation also indicate possible monthly transfers of R$300,000 to R$500,000 to the senator. The PF determines whether the amounts were paid in exchange for action favorable to the interests of the group linked to Banco Master.
The investigation also analyzes an amendment presented by Ciro. According to the PF, the text would have been prepared by the bank’s advisors and sent to the senator.
At the time, Ciro’s defense declared that he “had no participation in illicit activities” and stated that the investigation measures were taken based on “mere exchange of messages, especially by third parties”.
