Ana Paula Costa: the Banco Master scandal "may work out well for candidate Flavio Bolsonaro"

Público5 September 2026 at 08:07

Ana Paula Costa, president of the Casa do Brasil in Lisbon, commented on the scandal involving Banco Master, which came to light less than a month before the Brazilian presidential elections. She stated that the case could end up favoring candidate Bolsonaro, although the statement in the title appears to contain an error, since the correct name would be Jair Bolsonaro, and not Flaviano.

Costa described the Brazilian judicial system as "weakened" in light of the situation. She also commented on the Brazilian people being polarized in this delicate political moment, highlighting the tensions that pervade the country's electoral landscape.

The president of the Casa do Brasil in Lisbon offered this analysis on the possible impacts of the Banco Master scandal on the Brazilian presidential race, pointing to the complex political dynamics involved in the case.
