The new PowerPoint of the Master case

The recent operation against Senator Jaques Wagner, a government leader in the Senate, provides an opportunity to revisit the "Master case" and its associated PowerPoint presentation. The author previously proposed categorizing individuals based on their alleged involvement: those accused of stealing with Banco Master, those attempting to save it, and those who received money from it.

New information suggests Senator Wagner is accused of receiving funds from Banco Master through family members. Further evidence, if confirmed, could reclassify his role from simply receiving money to actively trying to rescue the bank. The article notes that the PT party in Bahia was already placed in the "stole with Master" category due to suspicions involving CredCesta, and calls for the Federal Police to provide concrete names.

Meanwhile, the right-wing political spectrum sees a longer list of individuals implicated. Presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro now dominates the "received money" category, with the possibility of moving to "stole with Master" if evidence of direct financial benefit emerges. The article points out that while Vorcaro allegedly gave millions to Bolsonaro, Bolsonaro-aligned governors provided billions from retirees to Banco Master. Senate President Davi Alcolumbre and Chamber of Deputies President Hugo Motta are also mentioned, with accusations of receiving substantial sums and questionable loans, respectively. The piece concludes by noting that for every left-wing figure accused, four or five more powerful right-wing figures emerge, suggesting the right-wing is more deeply entrenched in the scandal.
