Overview
- Michel Temer said he was hired by Banco Master for consultancy and mediation before the bank’s liquidation, received fees for the work, and ended the contract without results.
- He argued that Supreme Federal Court justices with possible links to the case should step aside, noting that Justice Dias Toffoli has already recused himself in related matters.
- He confirmed a Brasília meeting with controller Daniel Vorcaro, then–DF governor Ibaneis Rocha, and the then head of BRB, while saying attorney-client confidentiality limits what he can disclose.
- He characterized the Master investigation as a fact-finding phase that should proceed with caution and said accountability should follow only if investigators prove irregularities.
- He said it is too soon to gauge electoral fallout and suggested any sharper political effects will show closer to party conventions expected to start in July.
