The Government of Rio de Janeiro obtained a positive court decision, on Thursday (4/12), to retain in the Rioprevidência account the amounts owed to Banco Master and PKL One Participações SA, in relation to salary loans made by civil servants.
Under the decision, signed by Judge Georgia Vasconcelos of the Second Public Finance Court of Rio, the amounts that the state will transfer to the bank will be available to the Social Security Fund. The resources will no longer be transferred until the total amount of R$970 million, plus interest and period correction, is reached, which is the amount invested by Rioprevidência in Master.
The preliminary injunction also prohibits the defendants from taking any action against active and inactive employees of the Rio government who obtained loans through CredCesta, such as denial of credit restrictions or protest. If the defendants fail to comply with the rule, a fine of R$50,000 will be imposed on the “unjustifiably passive server.”

The decision comes after all the problems surrounding Banco Master. The owner of the banking institution, Daniele Forcaro, was arrested in Operation Zero Compliance, which investigates the alleged multi-billion dollar fraud in credit portfolios negotiated by Master.
Forcaro was imprisoned for 12 days, but was released by decision of a Brasilia court, using an electronic ankle bracelet. On Wednesday (3/12), the Minister of the Federal Supreme Court, Dias Toffoli, brought the case to court, due to the alleged involvement of persons with privileged jurisdiction in the case.
