Daniel Vorcaro denies corruption in Federal Police deposition
Daniel Vorcaro, former controller of Banco Master, provided a four-hour deposition to the Federal Police via videoconference from the Papudinha prison in the Distrito Federal. The testimony is part of Operation Compliance Zero, which investigates alleged financial fraud at Banco Master that reportedly caused losses of up to R$ 47 billion to the Credit Guarantee Fund.
Vorcaro denied all allegations of corruption and the use of privileged information. Specifically, he denied paying bribes to two former Central Bank employees, Paulo Sérgio Neves de Souza and Belline Santana, who are suspected of acting as unofficial consultants to favor Banco Master during its period of regulatory supervision.
Despite his denials, Vorcaro expressed a strong interest in securing a plea bargain agreement to provide more detailed information and potentially reduce his sentence or protect family members also detained in the investigation. This marks his third attempt at a collaboration agreement, as previous proposals were rejected by the Federal Police and the Prosecutor General's Office for lacking new evidence.
