Toffoli instructs the Federal Police and cites Correios, fax, and electronic means to receive documents in the Master Case
Minister Dias Toffoli outlined the official channels for receiving documents related to the Master Case, involving the Federal Police and various communication methods.
As the rapporteur for the Master Case at Brazil's Supreme Federal Court (STF), Minister Dias Toffoli has formally instructed the Federal Police (PF) regarding the channels through which they will submit documents related to the investigation. On Thursday, October 12, Toffoli specifically requested that the PF send details of all cell phones that have been seized and examined as part of the inquiry. He mentioned various methods of transmission, including postal services (Correios), digital mail, fax, and electronic petitions, indicating a flexibility in the means of communication he is willing to accept.
The minister's directive follows a report submitted to Chief Justice Edson Fachin concerning the forensic examination conducted on the cell phone of Daniel Vorcaro, the owner of Banco Master. The inquiry has taken a significant turn as Toffoli's name was mentioned in messages found on the seized device, although the specifics of these messages have not been disclosed to the public. This connection could raise questions about the implications for Toffoli's position and influence concerning the case.
Toffoli concluded his official communication with a formal expression of high regard for PF Director-General Andrei Passos Rodrigues, which signals a professional relationship between the judicial and law enforcement branches. The unfolding events surrounding the Master Case highlight the complexities involved in high-profile legal investigations, particularly when significant figures may be implicated. This development may have further repercussions for the integrity of Brazilβs judiciary, depending on how the investigation progresses and its outcomes regarding those involved.
