Daniel Vorcaro's jet seized in Paraguay and returned to Brazil

The Brazilian Federal Police, in coordination with Paraguayan authorities, have seized a Gulfstream GV-SP jet linked to Daniel Vorcaro, a former controller of Banco Master. The aircraft, valued at approximately US$ 21 million (R$ 117-120 million), was located in Asunción, Paraguay, and returned to Brazil, landing at Brasília International Airport on Sunday.

The seizure is part of ‘Operation Compliance Zero,’ which investigates a massive financial fraud scheme involving Banco Master. Investigators are looking into allegations of money laundering, corruption, and the use of falsified documents to artificially inflate the bank's assets. The aircraft is registered to Viking Participações, a holding company managed by Vorcaro.

Flight data indicates that since Vorcaro's arrest in March, the jet performed at least 16 international flights to destinations including New York, Dubai, and Monaco, notably avoiding Brazilian airspace. Two judicial orders currently block the aircraft's registration to prevent any sale or transfer while the investigation continues.
