Supreme Court President Fachin orders PF to report all minister mentions in Master case

Supreme Court President Edson Fachin met with Federal Police Director-General Andrei Rodrigues to discuss the 'Master case' investigations. Fachin ordered that all mentions of Supreme Court ministers found during the investigation be forwarded to the Court without exception, in a strictly descriptive manner. The Supreme Court plenary will decide whether to open formal investigations against the cited ministers following a prior opinion from the Prosecutor General's Office (PGR).

The investigation involves Daniel Vorcaro, former controller of Banco Master. Evidence extracted from mobile phones suggests Vorcaro financed an international prostitution network starting in 2023, investing at least R$ 4.3 million. The network allegedly recruited foreign women, including Ukrainian refugees, for private events.

Additionally, the investigation covers potential fraud in credit portfolio transactions between Banco Master and BRB valued at R$ 12 billion. Messages also indicate Vorcaro's involvement in attempts to influence political figures regarding 'precatórios' (court-ordered debts).
