Daniel Vorcaro lookalike sought by political campaign in São Paulo

A political campaign in São Paulo is seeking a lookalike of businessman Daniel Vorcaro for a street action and media production scheduled for September 23 and 24. The campaign, which has not disclosed the specific candidate behind the initiative, is offering R$ 2,000 for the role.

Vorcaro is the former president of Banco Master, an institution that was liquidated by the Central Bank last year following investigations into massive financial crimes. He has been arrested on multiple occasions, including in March 2026, and faces allegations of corruption, money laundering, and billion-dollar fraud. The scandal involving Banco Master has highlighted a network of influence involving alleged bribes and benefits provided to Central Bank officials and members of the judiciary.

Commentators note that the legal and political controversies surrounding Vorcaro and the Supreme Court are dominating the public agenda as Brazil approaches the first round of presidential elections, potentially overshadowing debates on economic issues such as the minimum wage, pensions, and debt.
