The Office of the Attorney General asked the Supreme Court to dismiss the testimony of banker Daniel Vorcaro, owner of Banco Master, in which he claimed to have suffered alleged threats and intimidation. The Attorney General of Brazil, Paulo Gonet, considered that Vorcaro did not present concrete facts or minimum elements that would justify adopting new investigative measures regarding the case.
Vorcaro was heard in person by Minister André Mendonça, rapporteur of the investigations related to Banco Master at the STF, on August 27. The hearing was authorized after Vorcaro's defense stated that he intended to report alleged threats and intimidation he had suffered.
In the PGR's assessment, the testimony did not bring information capable of justifying an investigation. Gonet stated that Vorcaro did not report a concrete or legally delimited fact capable of driving investigative action, nor did he present elements that would lend verisimilitude to the allegations made.
