Daniel Vorcaro investigations reveal ties to Nikolas Ferreira and Supreme Court Justice
Federal Police investigations into banker Daniel Vorcaro, owner of Banco Master, have revealed significant political and legal implications. Intelligence reports suggest that investigations into Fábio Luís Lula da Silva, son of President Lula, may have been subject to an undeclared investigative orientation, as police noted a lack of evidence to link him to INSS fraud schemes.
Seized communications from Vorcaro's phone indicate a close relationship between the banker and Deputy Nikolas Ferreira. Messages show Ferreira seeking proximity to Vorcaro and Vorcaro claiming to have paid for the deputy's flights. Additionally, records show Vorcaro met with Metrópoles CEO Lilian Tahan on the day of his arrest in November 2025.
The revelations have sparked political backlash. Marina Silva called for the temporary removal of Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes following reports of a close relationship between the justice and Vorcaro, as well as mentions of contracts between the bank and the justice's wife's law firm. Meanwhile, Senator Damares Alves is seeking to use popular pressure to advance impeachment proceedings against Moraes.
