Official Note with Errors

Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes released a note stating that he had never been at the Central Bank and that no phone calls with its president, Gabriel Galípolo, ever occurred. However, the official version contains date errors and does not match official records. Thus, doubts arise about the credibility of his narrative.

Absence in Official Agendas

According to CNN Brasil, the meetings cited by Moraes — on August 14 and September 30 — do not appear in the official agendas of either the minister or Galípolo. Consequently, the lack of formal records reinforces the perception of inconsistencies and raises questions about institutional transparency.

Partial Confirmation by the Central Bank

On the other hand, the Central Bank confirmed that meetings with Moraes did occur, but claimed the subject was the Magnitsky Act, applied against the minister and his family by the United States. Nevertheless, the institution did not disclose dates, times, or formats of the meetings, leaving important gaps. Therefore, the official version does not eliminate suspicions of undue pressure.

Narrative Inconsistencies

Indeed, the divergence between Moraes’s note, the official records, and the partial confirmation by the Central Bank exposes a scenario of contradictions. Moreover, the lack of transparency strengthens the perception that there was an attempt to minimize or conceal contacts related to Banco Master, investigated for billion-real frauds.

Institutional Impact

Consequently, the episode undermines the credibility of both the Supreme Court and the Central Bank. Thus, society demands quick and consistent clarifications to prevent the official narrative from becoming another factor of institutional erosion. In conclusion, the absence of records and the date errors reinforce the need for rigorous investigation.
