On Wednesday, lawyers for banker Daniele Forcaro, in cooperation with STJ, strengthened the habeas corpus request on behalf of the businessman. As we know, Forcaro is being held on remand on suspicion of involvement in fraudulent management, reckless management and a criminal organization responsible for Banco Master.
The banker’s defense this time is based on an order submitted by the Central Bank, which records everything that was to be discussed in a video meeting between Forcaro and technicians from the municipality on November 17, hours before the arrest.
The document notes that Forcaro provided “ongoing measures to mitigate the critical liquidity situation” at Banco Master. He also informed the Central Bank that “he will travel to Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates, on the same day, to sign the contract and announce the process with the group of foreign investors, who will become part of the institution’s new share block.” Hours later, he was arrested.
“This new material, together with the comprehensive documentation already attached to the files, puts an end to the fallacy that the patient was fleeing abroad on November 17,” the defenders stated in the request.
In recent days, the miner was transferred from the room in which he was detained, in the Federal Police, in São Paulo, to the Temporary Detention Center (CDP) 2 in Guarulhos. One of the points of accusation against Forcaro is the sale of allegedly fraudulent credit portfolios to Banco de Brasília (BRB).
