This is quite a story. As Pam suggests, you need to contact the police, provide all the evidence to them and let them do the investigation for charges of false imprisonment, elder abuse, fraud and probably other charges.
Since these are criminal charges, they wouldn't be subject to a civil suit, but there may be some other issues that would. Ask the police when you call them or take her to the police station.
And get an injunction to keep them away from your mother.
So, if you are very sure he acted with malicious and dishonest intent, you can talk to a lawyer or maybe present a settlement offer to your brother "or else" you will talk to a lawyer. Either way, any relationship you had with him is pretty much over, unless in looking into it further you see that what he did was not all that improper beyond signing the checks incorrectly. Bear in mind as co-POA (unless you were just backup or secondary POA) you were also responsible for seeing your father properly taken care of.
