Jaques Wagner

Senator Jaques Wagner is currently under investigation by the Brazilian Federal Police as part of the ninth phase of Operation Compliance Zero, authorized by Supreme Court Justice André Mendonça on June 18, 2026. The investigation alleges Wagner received illicit economic advantages from the Banco Master group, specifically former partner Augusto Ferreira Lima and owner Daniel Vorcaro, in exchange for legislative favors. Key allegations include: Receiving a luxury apartment in Salvador valued at R$ 2.45 million. Accepting R$ 3.5 million in transfers to a company linked to his family, BN Financeira. Utilizing private aircraft for personal travel and receiving luxury concert tickets costing R$ 63.3 thousand. Advocating for legislative interests of Banco Master, including credit consignado amendments and Fundo Garantidor de Créditos coverage increases. During search and seizure operations, police apprehended approximately R$ 500,000 in foreign currency (US dollars and euros) and 13 luxury watches at locations linked to the senator. Wagner denies all allegations, asserting he is neither indicted nor a defendant. He claims the seized cash represents declared per diems from international parliamentary missions and denies ownership of the apartment.
