Vorcaro tried to call the director of the PF and PGR before arrest, says report

Former banker Daniel Vorcaro sought contact with the directors of the PF (Federal Police), Andrei Rodrigues, and the PGR (Attorney General's Office), Paulo Gonet, shortly before his arrest, according to a preliminary report released this Tuesday (16) by minister André Mendonça, of the STF (Federal Supreme Court).

According to the piece, shortly before his first arrest, in November 2025, Vorcaro asked an interlocutor to reinforce with the directors so that the corporations' subordinates did not commit "any dirty tricks", otherwise "everything would go to hell".

The content obtained by the investigation was in the former banker's notebook and the interlocutor's identity was not revealed.

According to the note found on Daniel Vorcaro's cell phone, he received confidential information from friends within the Central Bank who "were worried" about the pressure exerted by the Federal Police and the Public Ministry against Bacen, before the launch of Operation Compliance Zero.

The former banker had been keeping track of any investigation that could involve the fraud of the liquidated Banco Master since July 2025, through which he gained access to the Fact Sheet that marked the beginning of Operation Compliance Zero. Based on the contextualization of those involved, Vorcaro began monitoring the authorities to try to influence public agents.

According to the investigation, Vorcaro's influence managed to reach the Central Bank, where he learned of the confidential meeting between the Federal Police and the BCB about the investigations involving Banco Master. Four days later, Vorcaro recorded the names of the PF representatives who were in the conversation and three other public prosecutors who were not at the meeting. Later, he planned a trip to Abu Dhabi, in the United Arab Emirates, to meet with the interlocutor who was present at the meeting and passed on confidential information about the investigation.

Vorcaro also knew in which court the case would be judged and the name of the judge who processed the request for precautionary measure. When questioned by delegate Janaína Palazzo about how he obtained such information, he only replied that he found out after it was published in the press.

However, according to the PF investigation, it was the former banker himself who leaked the information to the journalist who wrote the text. In prints published in the petition, the reporter received money from Vorcaro to publish information of interest to the banker.
