Coaf Flags R$18 Million From Master and JBS to Consultancy That Paid STF Justice Nunes Marques's Son

Reporting now focuses on corporate links to Kevin Marques, with the firms involved denying wrongdoing.

Overview

  • Financial‑intelligence data show Banco Master sent R$6.6 million and JBS R$11.3 million to Consult Inteligência Tributária from August 2024 to July 2025, flows Coaf labeled atypical for the firm's declared capacity.
  • By sampled review, Consult made 11 transfers totaling R$281.6 thousand to lawyer Kevin de Carvalho Marques, who says the payments reflect lawful work in tax administrative matters and not any case at the Supreme Court.
  • Corporate records reported by outlets cite ties between Consult and IPGT, where Kevin is the majority partner, including shared address and services and a partner linked to Consult’s owner, though Kevin’s team says the entities are independent.
  • Despite receiving R$18 million, Consult declared R$25.5 thousand in revenue for the period; founder Francisco Craveiro negotiated R$13 million in profit distribution and returned to the company’s ownership on March 6, 2026 after prior changes in 2025.
  • JBS says hiring tax consultancies is routine for large companies, Banco Master did not comment, and no criminal charges are reported; the payments period overlapped with a major corporate dispute involving J&F that ended by agreement in May 2025.
