Brazil's Supreme Federal Court Lifts Secrecy on Master Bank Case Investigation

SAPO Notícias11 September 2026 at 05:38

Brazil's Supreme Federal Court decided to lift the procedural secrecy of the investigations into the Master Bank case. The decision was made by Justice André Mendonça, who serves as rapporteur of the case at the court.

André Mendonça, a member of the STF, was responsible for determining the end of the judicial secrecy that involved the proceedings. With this measure, the details of the investigations become public.

The case involves investigations that fall upon magistrates of the supreme court. The inquiries are related to Banco Master, a financial institution that became the target of the investigations conducted by the court.

The decision to lift secrecy allows greater transparency regarding the progress of the investigations, which can now be followed by society and the press. The case continues under the rapporteurship of André Mendonça at the Supreme Federal Court.
