Na Trilha da Política #803 - Repasses milionários do Banco Master a Marconi Perillo e Henrique Meirelles geram preocupação eleitoral

·18 min·1 clip

Documents show Banco Master paid R$18.5 million to ex-minister Henrique Meirelles and R$14.5 million to ex-governor Marconi Perillo.

The episode opens with host Cileide Alves discussing Receita Federal documents sent to the CPI do Crime Organizado, indicating million-dollar transfers from Banco Master to ex-governor Marconi Perillo and ex-minister Henrique Meirelles. Meirelles reportedly received R$18.5 million between 2024 and 2025, while Perillo received R$14.5 million between 2022 and 2025. Perillo's defense is detailed: he claims he was approached in 2022 by Augusto Lima, a partner of Daniel Vorcaro, to provide political consultancy for Banco Master, leveraging his experience as a four-term governor and CNS assessor. He asserts he never met Vorcaro personally and knew Lima through Flávia Pérez, ex-wife of ex-governor José Roberto Arruda. The contract lasted from 2022 to April 2025, which Perillo terminated, and he also ended a contract with CSN in January. To sustain himself, he rented his house and the Meia Lua waterfall in Pirinópolis. The political impact is significant due to Perillo's high rejection from his governance and past scandals, including mentions in Operação Lava Jato and Operação Monte Carlo. A recent lawsuit by ex-governor Ronaldo Caiado against Perillo was dismissed, but the new allegations could reignite public scrutiny. The scandal broadens as Banco Master paid R$543 million to 91 law firms and R$60 million for luxury events abroad for Brazilian authorities, with more names like Michel Temer involved. The episode then shifts to the emptying of Goiás legislative sessions, attributed to election campaigns starting early. Examples include the Goiânia municipal chamber canceling sessions for contest tests and low attendance in commissions. Deputies are focused on electoral projects, such as salary increases and commemorative dates, with Deputy Bruno Peixoto's party switch causing tensions. The session concludes with reflections on whether legislative activity is beneficial during this period.
