Banco Master owner, Daniel Forcaro, left prison on Saturday morning (11/29) wearing a white T-shirt, jeans, slippers and a hat. And in his hands is the Bible. The banker was released using an electronic ankle bracelet, thanks to a decision issued by Federal Regional Court Judge for the First District (TRF-1) Solange Salgado da Silva. looks:
The simple clothing belies the outcome of Operation Zero Compliance, which led to his arrest and resulted in one of the largest financial seizures ever recorded in recent actions against this type of crime. The action resulted in the confiscation of luxury cars, works of art, luxury watches, and a cash amount of 1.6 million Brazilian reals.
In addition to Forcaro, former partners Augusto Lima left the prison; Luiz Antonio Paul, Alberto Felix de Oliveira and Angelo Ribeiro da Silva. The arrests were made on 11/18, as part of a Federal Police (PF) operation against a scheme for the issuance and trading of false credit securities involving financial institutions of the National Financial System, including the Bank of Brasilia (BRB).
The decision allowing Forcaro and his former accomplices to leave prison was issued last Friday night (11/28). But there was doubt whether they would be released on Saturday, as they were arrested because it is not common for electronic ankle monitors to be installed on weekends.
