Investigation into Alexandre de Moraes travel and contracts

Overview

A Federal Police investigation is examining the travel arrangements and contractual relationships between Brazilian Supreme Federal Court (STF) Minister Alexandre de Moraes and businessman Daniel Vorcaro.

Video footage from August 2025 shows Minister Moraes and his wife, Viviane Barci, disembarking from a Legacy 650 private jet operated by Prime Aviation at Rio de Janeiro’s Santos Dumont Airport. This footage reportedly contradicts previous claims from the Minister’s office that he ‘never traveled on any plane belonging to Daniel Vorcaro.’

Federal Police investigators have reportedly uncovered messages from Vorcaro discussing flight logistics and requesting priority for ‘Barci’ shortly before the recorded flight. Investigators are also scrutinizing a proposed R$ 50 million contract between the Barci de Moraes law firm—where Viviane Barci is a partner—and a company linked to Vorcaro. The contract allegedly included provisions for the use of aircraft-related assets.

In response to the controversy, the Barci de Moraes law firm issued a statement denying any personal links to Vorcaro regarding the use of a private jet. The firm clarified that air taxi selections are based on operational needs and that the specific choice of aircraft is determined by contracted civil aviation companies rather than the passengers. The office further emphasized that Vorcaro was not present on any flights involving its staff and denied having a legal services contract with Vorcaro’s company.
