Brazil AG Gonet denies friendship with Vorcaro, admits congratulating banker on Master-BRB deal

Brazil's Attorney General Paulo Gonet formally denied any friendship or personal interest in cases involving former banker Daniel Vorcaro, but admitted to congratulating him on the Master-BRB sale via a phone call arranged by lawyer Ciro Soares. The statement to the Superior Council of the Federal Public Ministry addresses potential conflicts of interest in ongoing proceedings. This is a notable development in Brazilian legal-political accountability, though the full implications remain unclear.
