Federal Police recover messages from Vorcaro to Moraes despite single-view feature

Pt Noticias2 September 2026 at 01:34

The Federal Police managed to recover single-view messages that had been exchanged between businessman Daniel Vorcaro and Minister Alexandre de Moraes, of the Supreme Federal Court. The feat was made possible through the use of digital traces left on devices and specialized data recovery programs.

The single-view function is a tool available in messaging applications that allows the sender to configure the message to be displayed only once, without the possibility of later viewing. Normally, this feature is designed to guarantee greater privacy in conversations.

The investigators managed to circumvent this technological barrier by identifying digital traces preserved on the devices used by both parties. The recovery of these messages may have relevance in ongoing investigations.

The case involves Daniel Vorcaro, owner of the sports betting company VaideBet, which has documented relationships with Minister Moraes, including financial transactions made by his wife, councilwoman Janones. The recovered messages are now part of the evidentiary collection of the investigation.

TSE rejects fine for Bolsonaro for using AI with father's image at convention

The Superior Electoral Court rejected by four votes to three the application of a fine to PL candidate for President, Bolsonaro, for using a deepfake video of former President Jair Bolsonaro's image during the convention that formalized his candidacy. The majority of ministers understood that there was no irregularity, as the content was displayed at a closed party event. The president of the TSE, Nunes Marques, considered that the internet broadcast does not transform the convention into electoral propaganda directed at the electorate, since support manifestations made at party conventions are directed at party members. The minister highlighted that legislation allows the disclosure of pre-candidacies and requests for political support, as long as there is no explicit vote request.

What happens after the PGR requests nullification of the investigation against Moraes?

The PGR requested the nullification of the investigation opened by the STF against Justice Alexandre de Moraes, arguing that the investigation order was determined without a request from the Public Ministry or initiative from the Federal Police, exceeding the limits of judicial action in the pre-prosecutorial phase. Attorney General Paulo Gonet also advocates for the annulment of the evidence obtained and the dismissal of the petition in the case. Justice André Mendonça will forward the request to the full STF for analysis, after having already stated he would bring the matter to the other justices. Mendonça stated that the facts presented by the Federal Police need to be examined in a technical and legal manner, in a public and in-person session.
