Nikolas Ferreira faces scrutiny over messages with Daniel Vorcaro
Federal Deputy Nikolas Ferreira is facing scrutiny following the release of audio recordings and messages involving Daniel Vorcaro, the former owner of Banco Master. The recordings, obtained by the Federal Police, reveal that in March 2025, Ferreira contacted Vorcaro to request assistance in releasing a mining asset for his former aide and lawyer, Thiago Rodrigues de Faria.
In the messages, Ferreira refers to Vorcaro informally as ‘Dani’ and ‘lindão’, expressing a desire for greater proximity. While Ferreira has admitted to the dialogues and confirmed their authorship, he has denied receiving any money or having formal contracts with Vorcaro, characterizing the interactions as personal and professional.
The controversy has escalated due to Ferreira’s dissemination of a fraudulent Federal Police report on social media. The fake document claimed there was no evidence of criminal activity in his conversations with Vorcaro. The Federal Police have since confirmed the report was forged, noting significant inconsistencies in dates and transcriptions.
As a result of these events, the PSOL-Rede federation has filed a representation for breach of parliamentary decorum against Ferreira. Additionally, Deputy Reimont has petitioned the Electoral Public Ministry to investigate the use of the fake document and its potential impact on electoral integrity.
