Distrito Federal requests transfer of R$ 2.2 billion to BRB
The Government of the Federal District (GDF) has petitioned the Supreme Federal Court (STF) to immediately transfer R$ 2.2 billion in blocked assets to the Banco de Brasília (BRB). The funds are currently held in accounts belonging to Henrique Vorcaro, who is under investigation in Operation Compliance Zero regarding the Master Bank case.
The GDF, as a controlling shareholder of BRB, argues that both the government and the bank are victims of fraudulent operations conducted between Master and BRB. The petition states that the local government is suffering financial damage through the devaluation of its equity, reduced dividends, and the potential need to use public treasury funds to restore the bank's financial health.
Henrique Vorcaro has been detained since May. Federal Police investigations suggest that BRB acquired R$ 17 billion in fraudulent funds from Master, with at least R$ 12 billion involving fabricated credit portfolios. The request has been submitted to Minister Edson Fachin, the temporary rapporteur for the case, though no decision deadline has been set.
