André Valadão confirms he brought Nikolas closer to Vorcaro, but denies involvement with Banco Master

Pastor André Valadão spoke out after Federal Deputy Nikolas Ferreira (PL-MG) stated that he received Daniel Vorcaro's contact from him, the founder of Banco Master. In a video posted on Instagram, Valadão admitted to having made the bridge between the two, but denied any involvement with the bank's business or with any irregularities.

Valadão stated that his participation was limited to bringing together two people he knew, suggesting they talk directly to clarify the situation. He stated that he had no involvement with Banco Master's activities, that he had no knowledge of the irregularities later attributed to the bank, and that he never participated in any illicit practice.

The case came to light after the repercussion of an audio recording showing the contacts between Nikolas and Vorcaro. The deputy ended up admitting the contacts, but denies closeness with Vorcaro and denies having received money. The situation also involves the tailor's shop visited by Minister Mendonça and Vorcaro's lawyer, who did not clarify the order for suits nor presented receipts.

Pauline Hanson, leader of the Australian far right and founder of the One Nation party, threatens to break the bipartisanship that has prevailed in Australian democracy. At 73 years old and an admirer of Donald Trump, Hanson is preparing for a major electoral leap in the federal elections scheduled for 2028, with polls giving her 30% voting intention, above the Labor Party (in government) and the Coalition (liberals and conservatives), the main traditional forces. It is the first time that a third party surpasses traditional Australian parties in opinion polls.
