Daniel Vorcaro seeks money return for plea‑bargain benefits in Brazil

Former banker Daniel Vorcaro, detained in Brasília, is exploring a new legal strategy after two offers of a plea‑deal with the Federal Police were rejected. His team now aims to negotiate a return of assets under investigation in exchange for judicial benefits, shifting focus away from providing further testimony. Investigations have also led to the arrest of several family members and the seizure of a passport belonging to an associate linked to the alleged fraud involving Banco Master. Vorcaro’s lawyers are contesting representation with another law firm, while the case remains under scrutiny by the Federal Prosecutor’s Office.

The move reflects an attempt to mitigate potential charges by offering restitution without naming additional participants in the suspected scheme.
