Brazilian Supreme Federal Court Minister André Mendonça has enhanced transparency regarding the Master case by instructing Senate President Davi Alcolumbre to provide the INSS Parliamentary Inquiry Committee (CPI) with confidential information relating to former banker Daniel Vorcaro obtained through breach of secrecy. This move comes amidst increasing scrutiny on Brazilian financial activities and the necessity for clear, accountable reporting in governmental inquiries.

Furthermore, the Federal Police, which has been under extreme pressure recently, will also retain this information. Mendonça’s decision is aimed at reducing the risks associated with the potential corruption of evidence and ensuring that it is used appropriately within the law. This move is particularly crucial as the integrity of such sensitive data often faces challenges in politically charged investigations, thus fostering a more secure environment for honest disclosures.

In a calculated maneuver, Mendonça has made Vorcaro's appearance before the CPI optional, allowing for a more strategic approach to gathering testimonies and evidence in the investigation. Vorcaro had previously indicated his intent not to attend the CPI or a related Senate committee hearing, despite prior arrangements with Senate leadership. The situation indicates a dodge from accountability, provoking discussions about the necessity for reforms in the management of such inquiries.
