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.
