Reproduction/TV Globo The current BRB crisis is linked to negotiations and operations carried out with Banco Master between 2024 and 2025, which totaled R$30 billion according to data from the bank itself. In November 2025, the Federal Police launched Operation Compliance Zero and identified an alleged billion-dollar financial fraud scheme – including a large part of these transactions.
