The Federal Supreme Court released a note this Tuesday (23) in which minister Alexandre de Moraes clarifies that he met with the president of the Central Bank, Gabriel Galípolo, due to the application of the Magnistiky Law by the United States government, which was later cancelled.
According to the clarification, in all meetings, specific issues were exclusively discussed about the serious consequences of the application of the law, in particular the possibility of maintaining bank transactions, current accounts, credit and debit cards.
Understand what changes for Moraes with the withdrawal of the Magnitsky Law
“Minister Alexandre de Moraes clarifies that, due to the application of the Magnistiky Law, he received for meetings the president of the Central Bank, the president of Banco do Brasil, the President and the Legal Vice-President of Banco Itaú. Furthermore, he participated in a joint meeting with the Presidents of the National Confederation of Financial Institutions, FEBRABAN, BTG and the vice-presidents of Santander and Itaú”, says the document.
The note is a response to a report by the newspaper O Globo which stated that Moraes sought out Galípolo at least four times to put pressure on behalf of Banco Master. At least three of the contacts were by telephone, but at least once Moraes met in person with the president of the monetary authority.
The office of the minister’s wife, Viviane Barci de Moraes, has a service provision contract with Master that provided for the payment of R$3.6 million per month for three years starting in January 2024, which would yield around R$130 million in total.
The document, according to O Globo, stipulated that the mission of Barci de Moraes Associados was to represent the interests of Master and Daniel Vorcaro before the Central Bank, the Federal Revenue Service, the Administrative Council for Economic Defense (Cade) and the National Congress.
