Brazil PGR chief Gonet cleared in Vorcaro probe; evidence disregarded
Brazil's Federal Public Prosecutor's Office Council dismissed evidence of irregularities in the relationship between Prosecutor-General Paulo Gonet and former banker Daniel Vorcaro, allowing Gonet to continue overseeing the Master case. The decision removes an immediate institutional threat to Gonet's position, but the underlying allegations remain unresolved and could resurface. This matters as it affects the integrity and public perception of Brazil's top prosecutorial authority in a high-profile financial case.
