Dino sends Fachin new facts about André Mendonça and determines investigation of connection between Master and cemeteries in SP

cbn15 September 2026 at 12:45

Minister Flávio Dino, from the Supreme Federal Court, determined new investigations to look into possible connections between Banco Master and companies responsible for funeral and cemetery service concessions in São Paulo. The decision was made in an action that discusses the privatization of São Paulo's cemeteries.

Dino sent the decision to STF president Edson Fachin so that the facts would be included in the procedure that investigates conduct of Minister André Mendonça. The document records that Mendonça received Daniel Vorcaro, then controller of Banco Master, in March 2025, on the eve of a trial about the concessions. Subsequently, the minister voted against the injunction that limited prices charged by private cemeteries.

The decision also determines that the São Paulo City Hall, SP Regula, the São Paulo Public Prosecutor's Office, and CVM present information about the Cortel concessionaire and any corporate, economic, or financial relationships with Banco Master.

Why this matters

The decision may directly affect the trial about privatization of São Paulo cemeteries and raise questions about the conduct of an STF minister. São Paulo residents may have their funeral services impacted if there is conflict of interest in the decision that regulates prices charged by these concessionaire companies. The investigation follows an action that discusses the concession of cemetery services in the capital.

Economic advisor to the President advises IL to seek convergences with Seguro

Economist Luís Aguiar-Conraria, economic advisor to the President of the Republic, advised the Liberal Initiative to seek points of convergence with António José Seguro, considering that the liberals, being a small party, need allies and may have presidential support for their proposals for economic growth and business concentration. In the debate on tax reform in Porto, Aguiar-Conraria considered that Portuguese taxation is not particularly high when compared internationally, but has the major flaw of being "stupidly complex," defending the elimination of differentiated rates and the reduction of tax progressivity. Economist Pedro Brinca also criticized fiscal complexity and measures such as zero VAT on food baskets and VAT reduction on fuels, warning that these may end up benefiting distribution and higher incomes rather than families in need.

Rio creates policy to cross-reference data and find children outside the public network

The City of Rio launched this Tuesday the Integrated Municipal Policy for Early Childhood (PMIPIC), which aims to place children up to 6 years old at the center of decisions across different areas of the municipal administration. The decree creates a new governance structure, under the responsibility of the Municipal Civil House, integrating approximately 18 agencies around actions in health, education, social assistance, housing, food, mobility and the right to the city. The experience began being tested in April in 14 neighborhoods in the Madureira region, in the North Zone, where the monitoring of 6,627 children and pregnant women led, in 30 days, to the regularization of 619 people with pending issues in public services.

Church linked to Vorcaro's brother-in-law moved R$ 57 million in one year, COAF points out

COAF documents forwarded to the Supreme Federal Court in the Banco Master case investigations reveal that the Lagoinha Belvedere Church, linked to Fabiano Zettel, Vorcaro's brother-in-law, moved more than R$ 57 million between December 2024 and December 2025, a value far exceeding the presumed annual revenue of R$ 950 thousand. Banco do Brasil reported the operations to COAF due to this discrepancy. Most of the payments were destined for construction, engineering, metal structures, and event production companies. Zettel alone transferred approximately R$ 19 million in 26 operations to the church. Minister André Mendonça lifted the secrecy from the financial movements.
