Former banker Daniel Vorcaro simulated fraudulent service contracts to justify the payment of bribes to Belline Santana, former chief of the Banking Supervision Department of the Central Bank. The information was revealed in a Federal Police report obtained by GLOBO.
Belline Santana is said to have created a WhatsApp group with Vorcaro to provide a kind of specialized consulting to the banker. The connection between the two began in 2023 and lasted until the end of 2025, when the relationship was made public. Vorcaro paid up to R$ 760 thousand per month to the former official.
In conversations extracted from Vorcaro's phone by the Federal Police, the suspended official and the businessman exchanged several messages. Initially, the dialogues were simpler and faster, such as "Good morning. I need to talk to you," said the former director to the then owner of Banco Master.
On Thursday night (10), Minister André Mendonça, from the Supreme Federal Court (STF), lifted the secrecy from this and other investigations related to Banco Master, after a request by the court president, Edson Fachin.
