VEJA reported that messages found by the Federal Police on Daniel Vorcaro's phone, the former owner of Banco Master, indicated that lawyer Walfrido Warde said that the banker had the support of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and members of the PT to try to save the institution. In an audio sent in March 2025, after the announcement of the purchase of 58% of Master’s capital by Banco de Brasília (BRB), Warde stated that Globo was trying to reduce Vorcaro's political support within the party. The operation depended on approval from the Central Bank. According to the magazine, the conversations showed contacts with government members and attempts to bring Vorcaro closer to Lula. The president was mentioned in at least 20 messages sent by Warde to the banker between April 2023 and July 2025. VEJA also reported that Vorcaro advised that any eventual show of support from Lula should be intermediated by Edinho Silva, president of the PT, to avoid exposing the president.

VEJA reported that the Superior Electoral Court (TSE) decided on Saturday, 17, that its cover story about reports from banker Daniel Vorcaro of Master, with allegations against President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, could continue to be published. According to the magazine, TSE President Minister Nunes Marques stated that, in a preliminary analysis, there were not enough elements to remove the article and the publications that reproduced it. He pointed out excerpts in which the magazine expressed itself directly but said they should be evaluated in the context of the report, which attributed the central accusation to Vorcaro, included the candidate's denial, and recorded reservations. In the minister's provisional evaluation, there was no evident falseness or serious decontextualization demonstrated that would justify removal. The magazine stated that the report presented audios in which Vorcaro admitted to sending money to allies of the federal government to gain access to pension funds of state-owned companies, including Petrobras, Correios, Banco do Brasil, and Caixa Econômica Federal. According to the publication, the goal was to raise 10 billion reais in investments for the bank and to pass 1 billion reais to intermediaries with the government. VEJA also reported that Vorcaro's defense presented the information to the Attorney General's Office in an attempt to negotiate a plea bargain, but the agency rejected the proposal twice. #TSE #jornalismo #Lula (translated)
