Minister Dias Toffoli has decided to leave the relatoria of the case investigating irregularities within Banco Master after a unanimous decision made by the Supreme Court (STF) ministers. This decision came after a tense meeting where the ministers rejected a motion to suspect Toffoli, confirming that all his actions in the case were legitimate. Following this agreement, Toffoli announced his withdrawal from the case, a significant step amid ongoing investigations into banking irregularities.

The situation surrounding Toffoli became more complicated after the Federal Police submitted a report to the president of the Supreme Court revealing exchanged messages between banker Daniel Vorcaro, the owner of Banco Master, and his brother-in-law, Fabiano Zettel. In these messages, they discussed payments to Maridt, a company that includes Toffoli as a partner. This has raised serious ethical and legal questions regarding Toffoli's involvement and potential conflicts of interest, necessitating his withdrawal from overseeing the case.

The legal implications of this development extend beyond Toffoli's personal situation. The ongoing investigation into Banco Master highlights significant concerns regarding the transparency and governance of financial institutions in Brazil, particularly in relation to high-profile figures like Vorcaro and Zettel. With the minister stepping down, the way forward for the investigation remains crucial in addressing accountability in the face of corruption within the banking sector, which continues to impact public trust in the justice system and regulatory bodies.
