Banco de Brasília judicial and asset disputes

Overview

The Banco de Brasília (BRB) is involved in separate legal and financial matters regarding judicial deposits and asset transfers.

In one case, the Court of Justice of the Federal District and Territories (TJDFT) denied a request by Grupo Casas Bahia to move R$ 30.1 million in judicial deposits from BRB to other institutions. The court maintained the funds remain at BRB due to an ongoing ICMS tax dispute, ruling there was no evidence of risk to the deposits.

Separately, the Government of the Federal District (GDF) has petitioned the Supreme Federal Court (STF) to transfer R$ 2.2 billion in blocked assets from Henrique Vorcaro to BRB. These funds were frozen during Operation Compliance Zero, which investigates alleged fraudulent operations between Banco Master and BRB. The GDF, a shareholder of BRB, argues that the district has suffered damage through the devaluation of its shareholding and reduced dividends due to the investigated conduct.

The GDF has requested that Minister Edson Fachin, the temporary rapporteur, immediately transfer the R$ 2.2 billion held in accounts belonging to Vorcaro to BRB. Vorcaro has been detained since May. Federal Police investigations suggest that BRB allegedly acquired R$ 17 billion in fraudulent funds from Master, with at least R$ 12 billion involving fabricated credit portfolios. The GDF maintains that the local government faces potential financial damage, including the possible need to use public treasury funds to restore the bank’s financial health.
