Renan Calheiros meets with CGU and PGR next week to discuss Master

Senator Renan Calheiros will meet with Brazil's Attorney General and the head of the CGU next week to discuss the Master case involving banking fraud.

Senator Renan Calheiros (MDB-AL) is scheduled to meet next week with Brazil's Attorney General, Paulo Gonet, and the head of the Comptroller General's Office (CGU), Vinícius de Carvalho, to discuss the ongoing Master case. This case involves alleged fraud at a bank and is a part of a series of meetings that Calheiros has been holding with various authorities to address the issue. The meeting is set to take place on Thursday, October 26, although it has not yet been included in the official schedules of the involved parties.

Calheiros, who chairs the Economic Affairs Committee, has been actively seeking information about the investigations and has requested access to materials from the Supreme Federal Court (STF), particularly regarding the banker Daniel Vorcaro's cell phone data. He has also met with other key figures, including the director-general of the Federal Police (PF) and the president of the Central Bank. This flurry of meetings indicates his determination to gather all relevant information and build a comprehensive understanding of the case.

Currently, there are concerns regarding the centrão, a political coalition in Brazil, which Calheiros accuses of trying to undermine the testimonies related to the case. The testimonies from Vorcaro are expected to take place on Tuesday, October 24, and both the senator and the authorities involved seem eager to address the potential challenges posed in the investigation process. The outcome of these discussions could significantly influence the trajectory of the investigation into the Master case and its implications for Brazilian politics and governance.
