"A governadora do Distrito Federal, Celina Leão (PP), foi internada neste sábado, 30, em Brasília (DF), após apresentar sintomas respiratórios. Ela está sendo atendida no Hospital Santa Lúcia, no Setor Hospitalar Sul, para tratar de um pneumotórax (presença de ar entre as camadas da pleura, a membrana interna do tórax) e ficará sob observação médica"
Celina assumed the DF government after the resignation of Ibaneis Rocha (MDB), whose vice-governor she was, to run for Senate. The two broke politically last week amid the crisis involving Banco Regional de Brasília (BRB) in the Banco Master scandal — an investigation that the Federal Police classified as "the largest fraud against the National Financial System ever recorded in Brazil, causing potential damages of tens of billions of dollars". ?

"A Operação Compliance Zero, da Polícia Federal (PF), completa seis meses nesta segunda-feira (18).

Former BRB president Paulo Henrique Costa was arrested in April during Operation Compliance Zero on suspicion of receiving bribes to facilitate fraudulent transactions involving Banco Master, according to the Federal Police. Costa, according to Veja magazine, claims to possess encrypted messages that would prove Ibaneis's involvement in operations that harmed DF's coffers. ?

"O mais importante ativo do ex-presidente do BRB são mensagens cifradas que, segundo ele, mostrariam que todas as ordens para as operações que lesaram os cofres do DF em bilhões de reais foram emanadas pelo ex-governador"
The operation investigated a scheme of irregular issuance of Bank Deposit Certificates (CDBs) without real asset coverage, with promises of interest rates up to 40% above market average. Investigations began in 2024 at the request of the Federal Public Prosecutor's Office, after the Central Bank identified suspicions in capital increase requests from Banco Master and BRB due to lack of proof of resource origins. ?

"a primeira etapa da operação teve como foco um suposto esquema de emissão irregular de Certificados de Depósito Bancário (CDBs) — produtos financeiros em que o cliente empresta dinheiro ao banco em troca de rendimentos futuros. Segundo a Polícia Federal, o Banco Master prometia juros até 40% acima da média do mercado"
"As investigações acerca do esquema que, segundo a PF, era chefiado por Vorcaro, começaram no início de 2024, a pedido do Ministério Público Federal (MPF)."
"As apurações que levaram à prisão do banqueiro Daniel Vorcaro começaram há pouco mais de um ano no Banco Central (BC), depois que pedidos de aumento de capital feitos pelo Banco Master e pelo Banco de Brasília (BRB) despertaram suspeitas pela falta de uma clara comprovação da ori"
