Rollemberg Secures Signatures for Banco Master CPI, Plans Filing After Recess

Overview

• Deputy Rodrigo Rollemberg says he has the 171 signatures required to request a Chamber CPI and will keep collecting support until Congress resumes on February 1.
• He intends the inquiry to examine investigations that describe about R$12 billion in fictitious credits tied to Banco Master and multi‑billion‑real losses at BRB.
• The push follows the Federal Police’s Operation Compliance Zero, which led to the arrest of Banco Master owner Daniel Vorcaro and the removal of BRB’s board, while an STF probe under Minister Dias Toffoli runs under seal.
• A parallel bid for a joint congressional inquiry is advancing, as Deputy Carlos Jordy says he gathered the support needed for a CPMI that can be installed after the request is read in a Congress session.
• Rollemberg signals a broad scope including potential political links, calls for accountability and asset seizures to offset BRB’s losses, and cites the need for proposals to strengthen financial oversight.
