Analysis: PF advances and reduces Vorcaro's plea bargain window

The Federal Police launched, this Tuesday morning (26), the eighth phase of Operation Compliance Zero, with one of the targets being Cláudio Castro (PL), former governor of Rio de Janeiro. The investigation investigates the contribution of R$3 billion from Rioprevidência to Banco Master, an institution linked to Daniel Vorcaro.

According to policy analyst Clarissa Oliveira, the PF's progress in investigations goes far beyond a new operational phase. In her assessment, the progress of the investigations progressively reduces the window for the banker to negotiate a plea bargain on terms that are favorable to him.

"We are talking about possible developments with an impact on the entire progress of the Master case. With each new revelation about the involvement of politicians, members of the judiciary, influential people and Daniel Vorcaro's ways of acting, the window for him to make a statement narrows", said the analyst to Live CNN.

Among the names that have already emerged in the context of the investigations are ministers of the Federal Supreme Court, as well as Ciro Nogueira (PP-PI) and, now, Cláudio Castro. Clarissa also highlighted that Vorcaro's cell phones would have records of privileged information about several influential figures.

"If he put so much privileged information about such important people on his cell phones, with the aim of protecting himself, of having ammunition, what's the point of not incorporating all these figures into a plea bargain proposal?", he asked.

Negotiation impasse
The analyst recalled that the PF has already rejected an initial proposal presented by the banker, and that there is still a negotiation window with the Attorney General's Office.

After this refusal, lawyer José de Oliveira Lima left the ex-banker's defense and, to date, Vorcaro remains with only lawyer Sérgio Leonardo.

"No one really knows if they will come with a broader proposal, if they won't, when they will come, in what form. But the longer it takes, the more the PF demonstrates that it has a lot of details, a lot of information", said Clarissa.

There are still questions behind the scenes about why Vorcaro would have omitted relevant information in the negotiations.

"What makes Daniel Vorcaro omit information about politicians and influential people, if there is so much data on his cell phones that are being leaked and made public as Federal Police investigations progress?", asked the analyst.

Among the elements already revealed by leaks of content from the former banker's cell phones are meetings and conversations with Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) and financing of the film Dark Horse.
