Decision on the Master's case remaining in the STF should occur in 60 days, after analysis of material seized by the PF

The Supreme Federal Court in Brazil will decide in 60 days whether the Master case will remain with the court or be sent to lower judiciary, following a thorough examination of seized materials.

In a meeting on Monday, Brazilian Supreme Federal Court (STF) minister André Mendonça and federal police officials established a 60-day deadline to analyze material seized in the Master case investigation. This includes data extracted from Daniel Vorcaro's phone, which is critical for the ongoing investigation. After this analysis is completed, Mendonça will determine whether the case will stay within the jurisdiction of the STF or be transferred to lower courts.

This case centers around the Banco Master and possible political connections involving Daniel Vorcaro that may have facilitated business operations beneficial to the bank. Investigators are scrutinizing links between Vorcaro and political figures in Brasília, exploring how these relationships might have influenced the bank's dealings. The findings from this investigation could have wider implications on political accountability and financial regulations going forward.

As discussions continue among members of the court, there is a prevailing sentiment that the Supreme Court will maintain jurisdiction over the case, indicating the seriousness with which the judicial body is taking allegations of political influence and corruption. The outcome of this case could set significant precedents regarding the oversight of financial institutions and the integrity of political interactions in Brazil.
