Vorcaro's Family Members Sent R$ 2 Million to Lagoinha Church Amid Pastor's Collection Demands: 'The Work Will Stop'

oglobo15 September 2026 at 07:30

Documents sent to the Federal Supreme Court reveal that pastor and businessman Fabiano Zettel, brother-in-law of Daniel Vorcaro, owner of Banco Master, demanded transfers from the owner of Banco Master throughout 2025 to fund the construction of a Lagoinha Church temple in Belo Horizonte (MG). In messages that are part of a Federal Police report, Zettel even warned Vorcaro that the "work will stop" without the funds.

A Coaf report pointed out that, during that year, Vorcaro's family members transferred more than R$ 2 million to the Lagoinha unit under Zettel's management. The information about these transfers came to light after the lifting of secrecy on the investigations related to Banco Master at the STF, ordered by the president of the Court, Justice Edson Fachin.

Pastor André Valadão, responsible for Lagoinha Global — the body that functions as supervision of Lagoinha units worldwide — claimed to have no relation to the control of the finances of the temple directed by Zettel.

Why this matters

The case directly involves Banco Master and its owners, with possible use of funds for religious purposes, which may indicate financial irregularities affecting clients and investors of the institution. The revelation of the transfers occurs in the context of investigations at the STF, signaling possible legal consequences for those involved and drawing attention to the transparency of transactions between figures in the financial sector and religious institutions.

Building for those who need it

Portugal faces a housing deficit of 300,000 homes accumulated over the last decade, with 59,000 pre-certified units that were not built in the last three years. The article argues that this situation is not the result of speculation or greed on the part of real estate developers, but rather of economic unviability caused by taxation (which represents approximately 40% of the final value of a home), by the unpredictability of licensing processes, and by excessive bureaucracy. The private sector argues that there is no alternative to private investment in a country where the public housing stock represents only 2% of the total, and that the tax reforms approved by the Government are beginning to address these problems, making it viable to build housing for middle-income families.
