What happened
Two Supreme Court justices, André Mendonça and Luiz Fux, informed the Federal Police they could not effectively access a 500 gigabyte phone copy related to the failure of Banco Master. The justices cited either technical difficulties or a defect in the media provided by the police. Banco Master, a mid-sized São Paulo lender, was ordered liquidated by the central bank on November 18.

Daniel Vorcaro was involved in a fraud scheme, leading to the central bank liquidating Banco Master, while Augusto Ferreira Lima was also linked to bribing politicians in Brazil.
