Minister André Mendonça, of the Supreme Federal Court (STF), denied having made a selective removal of secrecy in the Master case. The statement came after the president of the Court, Edson Fachin, determined on Friday (11) the release of all documents related to the main investigation of Operation Compliance Zero.
Fachin complied with a request from the Attorney General's Office (PGR) and gave a 24-hour deadline for Mendonça to make available to the other ministers the procedures linked to the investigation. The determination opens an exception for ongoing or not yet carried out investigations that may be harmed by the disclosure.
In his statement, Mendonça affirmed that the maintenance of part of the documents under secrecy occurred after a prudent and responsible analysis, given the existence of ongoing investigations and the need to preserve personal data of those investigated. According to the minister, this includes procedures related to the breaking of banking and tax secrecy.
