On Friday, March 13, Minister André Mendonça, a member of Brazil's Supreme Federal Court (STF), met with Federal Police (PF) delegates for a two-hour session where he received in-depth insights into the ongoing investigations surrounding the Master Bank case. This meeting was a crucial step in the judicial process, providing Mendonça with the necessary context and procedural information needed to adequately approach this high-profile case. The Federal Police delineated the overarching themes of the investigation, focusing on technical aspects that need clarification, which will likely influence any forthcoming legal decisions.

In the coming days, the Federal Police is expected to deliver a report summarizing the initial findings from the investigation, which will be handed to Mendonça as the new reporting judge on the case. A significant topic for consideration, as highlighted in the discussions, is the potential for splitting the investigation. This would involve returning certain aspects of the inquiry to lower courts, particularly those related to individuals without special jurisdictional immunity. Such a decision could affect how various parts of the case progress through the judicial system and determine the level of oversight applied.

Additionally, media reports suggest that the PF has amassed substantial evidence implicating politicians with immunity privileges that warrant the continuation of the investigation within the STF framework. Mendonça's role, following the reassignment of responsibilities from Minister Dias Toffoli, will be critical in shaping how these political dimensions interact with the legal realities of the case. The handling of such sensitive information and the judicial scrutiny it entails will likely be pivotal in maintaining public confidence in Brazil's legal processes and the rule of law.
