The Noblat Blog reported that the former governor of Ceará, Ciro Gomes (PSDB), had dinner with Daniel Vorcaro at the lawyer Walfrido Warde's house in São Paulo. According to the publication, the meeting was organized to try to convince Gomes to stop criticizing the court orders related to interests of Banco Master. The information, according to the blog, was found in messages exchanged in July 2024 between Warde and Vorcaro. The material, obtained by Estadão, was part of the investigations into fraud at Banco Master. Before the dinner, Warde informed that Gomes would arrive at 8:30 PM, and Vorcaro asked if he could bring a whiskey. Later, Warde asked the banker if he had enjoyed the meeting. The blog added that Vorcaro was upset with Gomes' criticisms of the integrity of the court orders acquired by the owner of Master. According to the publication, there were no records of Gomes criticizing the operations on social media until December 2024. The politician's press office did not comment when contacted. #CiroGomes #BancoMaster #Precatórios (translated)

Henrique Esteter wrote that, according to a report by VEJA published this Friday, Daniel Vorcaro claimed to have allocated R$ 30 million in cash, off the books, to finance a documentary about Lula and make payments related to the Lula Institute. According to the account, Vorcaro allegedly negotiated the supposed scheme with João Vaccari Neto, former treasurer of the PT, so that the Master Bank could raise funds from pension funds of state-owned companies, including Previ, Petros, and Postalis. The agreement would include a 10% fee on the raised amounts, which could result in up to R$ 1 billion in bribes if the deals were finalized. Esteter added that Vorcaro also accused Minister Alexandre Padilha and Olavo Noleto, then executive secretary, of participating in the negotiations. Messages obtained by the Federal Police would record contacts, meetings, and a private dinner between the banker and government members. Vorcaro also claimed that Padilha and his operators received at least R$ 6 million in deals with municipal funds. The allegations would have been presented to the Attorney General's Office during a failed plea bargain attempt, which was rejected, according to Esteter. #Lula #PT #Corrupção (translated)

Leonardo Dias wrote that, according to VEJA magazine (issue 3016, from 10/9/2026), Daniel Vorcaro reportedly detailed in audio and in material submitted to the PGR in June how Banco Master obtained access to the pension funds of state entities. In the version attributed to Vorcaro, Jaques Wagner allegedly facilitated the connection, and partner Augusto Lima reportedly met with João Vaccari Neto. Dias stated that Vorcaro described a payment of about R$ 30 million in cash for Oliver Stone's documentary about Lula, through Paulo Okamotto, in addition to an undisclosed amount to the Lula Institute. Later, according to the report, the Master would pay 10% of what it raised from the funds of BB, Caixa, Petrobras, and Correios: Vorcaro estimated R$ 1 billion for the PT and R$ 9 billion for himself. The author also mentioned messages found on Vorcaro's cell phone. According to Dias, an operator identified as Júlio introduced him to Olavo Noleto, the executive secretary of Alexandre Padilha. On 4/29/2024, Master was said to have entered a list that released the funds; on the same day, Júlio allegedly demanded R$ 500,000. Two days later, a dinner with Padilha was said to have occurred at the banker’s house. In October, Júlio reportedly wrote that the president would meet with Vorcaro. Dias added that Padilha allegedly said dealing with Noleto was equivalent to dealing with him. According to the author, the operation stopped in July 2024, after it became public that Caixa managers opposed to the deal had lost their positions. Vorcaro was said to have claimed that municipal funds yielded R$ 6 million to Padilha’s group. Dias compared this amount to the more than R$ 60 million from Dark Horse and reported that Vorcaro differentiated the payments linked to Lula from those related to Flávio. Dias noted that Lula, Padilha, and Noleto denied the accusations. He also stated that there was no evidence that the meeting with Lula promised by Júlio took place; the only confirmed meeting at the Planalto, on 12/4/2024 and outside the official agenda, reportedly dealt with the Master at the Central Bank. The author said that the PGR dismissed the attachment due to a lack of evidence of cash payments and that the same archived material mentioned payments to Davi Alcolumbre and members of the Judiciary. #Lula #Corrupção #PolíticaBrasileira (translated)

João Maria Jonet stated that the group had existed on WhatsApp for years and that its members had had numerous opportunities to photograph lunches or dinners.

Julio Schneider stated that the notice regarding the wake ceremony restricted attendance to family members. He suggested that a partner linked to a R$ 131 million contract with his wife's office, to dinners, to private jet trips, and to a "life debt" would not need a formal invitation to attend, while the rest of the country would be left outside. #Sociedade #Velório #Família (translated)

Hayy stated that Lula had been caught again in a lie. The author wrote that Roberta Luchsinger, identified in investigations as close to Lulinha, attended a PT dinner in March 2024 and, according to messages obtained by Metrópoles, arranged the purchase of 10 tickets at R$ 5,000 each, totaling R$ 50,000. Hayy added that she had requested that third parties make the payment to prevent the donation from being recorded. #Lula #PT #Corrupção (translated)
