Vorcaro asked Moraes for help to secure meeting with Galípolo before his arrest

cbn1 September 2026 at 18:56

Banker Daniel Vorcaro, former owner of Banco Master, asked Minister Alexandre de Moraes, of the Supreme Federal Court, for help one day before being arrested by the Federal Police. The request was to secure a meeting with the president of the Central Bank, Gabriel Galípolo. The message was found on the banker's phone during the Federal Police investigation.

In the text written in the phone's notes app, Vorcaro asked Moraes to try to arrange the meeting so he could present documents that would be filed that week. The banker also stated that an "atomic bomb" was about to go off and that it made no sense for this to happen precisely at the moment a solution was being found.

Vorcaro argued in the message that the situation was harmful to everyone involved, including Galípolo, the government, the economy, and Brazil as a whole. The full content of the message reveals the banker's attempt to resolve pending matters with the Central Bank before his arrest.

Minister André Mendonça, of the Supreme Federal Court, lifted the secrecy of the investigations on Tuesday, making public the information about the case involving the former owner of Banco Master.
