Brazil's Federal Police seized messages showing that former Rio de Janeiro Governor Cláudio Castro had a close relationship with Refit refinery owner Ricardo Magro. Supreme Federal Court (STF) Justice Alexandre de Moraes lifted the secrecy of the investigation within the scope of 'Operation Sem Refino 2' on September 3, 2026.
According to the police report, Castro referred to Magro as a "friend" and sent the message "You have a friend here, know that." Furthermore, Castro promised personal intervention regarding Refit's tax regularization with Magro's lawyer, Marcos Joaquim, saying "I'll handle it." The investigation alleges that the governor directly monitored a private company's demands outside official channels.
The first phase of the operation took place in May 2026; Magro was arrested but fled and was placed on Interpol's Red Notice list. Castro denies allegations of "providing advantages to third parties." Castro, Magro, Refit, and lawyer Marcos Joaquim did not respond to questions from Poder360.
