The article examines the precarious nature of a political deal in Brazil, often referred to as the 'Master Deal', which is under scrutiny following a police report detailing connections to Supreme Federal Court (STF) Minister Dias Toffoli. This report has sparked concerns about the stability of the arrangement created to safeguard influential individuals implicated in corruption. As investigations deepen, questions arise regarding the existing protections and what might happen if key figures lose their defenses against prosecution.

Additionally, the article highlights the ongoing investigations led by the Federal Police (PF) and their implications for the stability of the current government under President Lula. The PF's inquiry into communications and transactions linked to Toffoli and other political figures could threaten alliances within Congress and the judiciary. Senators advocating for accountability express hopes that the PF will reveal further connections to politically powerful individuals who have been associated with the Master Deal.

The piece concludes by stressing the potential political fallout from the investigations, emphasizing that the interplay between the STF, Congress, and the executive branch could be reshaped as new evidence emerges. The government’s use of police resources is scrutinized, raising concerns about whether such actions are preserving the status quo or challenging systemic corruption within Brazilian politics.
