The delegates' association representing Brazil's Federal Police has asked Prosecutor-General Paulo Gonet to step aside from the Banco Master case. This association represents over 2,300 federal police delegates. The request comes after Gonet opened a procedure to review a police report that includes him in messages. Gonet, the head of the federal prosecution service, is investigating possible outside interference in the Federal Police's report on Vorcaro's contacts with Justice Alexandre de Moraes.
The delegates' association has three demands: Gonet should declare himself barred from acting, the procedure should be archived, and all findings from Operation Compliance Zero must be investigated fully. As of September 6, Gonet has not formally responded to the demand. The case involves Supreme Court justices and former banker Daniel Vorcaro.
