The Brazilian Federal Police launched a new operation to investigate potential connections between Rioprevidência and Banco Master, highlighting serious allegations of financial misconduct. During the operation in Balneário Camboriú, agents witnessed an extraordinary event: a suitcase containing R$ 429,000 was thrown from the 30th floor of a building, leading to cash bills raining down onto the neighboring property. This dramatic scene was captured on video by officers as they arrived at the scene, prompting a swift response to recover the money and seize the destroyed suitcase.

The individual responsible for throwing the money, Igor Paganini, has emerged as a person of interest in the ongoing investigation. Initially, he was not a target of the police operation, which primarily aimed to serve a search warrant against another suspect believed to be laundering money related to the financial activities of Rioprevidência. However, upon being caught in the act of disposing of the cash, Paganini's actions shifted the focus of the investigation onto him, prompting the authorities to seize his mobile phone for further evidence.

The Federal Police are investigating nearly R$ 1 billion in investments associated with Banco Master, believed to have been linked to the pension fund's operations. This case underscores the increasing scrutiny of financial systems in Brazil, particularly concerning public funds and their potential misuse. The fallout from this investigation may lead to broader implications for banking regulations and the accountability of financial institutions involved with government-related entities.
