Long before the recent revelations, State Deputy Luiz Paulo Corrêa da Rocha had raised alarms about significant financial dealings within Rioprevidência involving Banco Master. As early as 2024, Rocha identified and reported suspicious million-dollar operations connected to the bank.

Corrêa da Rocha, a member of the PSD party, formally brought his concerns to the attention of the Rio de Janeiro State Court of Accounts (TCE-RJ). This action demonstrated his commitment to fiscal oversight and his diligence in investigating potential irregularities within state financial bodies.

Further underscoring his proactive stance, the deputy took to social media to publicize his denunciation. This public sharing of information occurred well before the transactions became a subject of broader public scrutiny, highlighting his efforts to ensure transparency and accountability regarding the Rioprevidência fund's investments.
