Corruption in Brazil: Police asked the Attorney General to recuse himself from the Banco Master case investigation

On Saturday, the National Association of Federal Police Commissioners (ADPF) of Brazil formally requested that Prosecutor General Paulo Gonet recuse himself from an ongoing investigation. The case centers on the preparation of a police report related to the Banco Master corruption scandal, in which Gonet himself is mentioned.

The request by the federal police commissioners stems from Gonet's inclusion in the document being scrutinized. The development marks a significant procedural dispute within the highest levels of Brazil's law enforcement and judicial authorities as they navigate the fallout from the high-profile Banco Master investigation.
