A Federal Police report based on messages extracted from the phone of Daniel Vorcaro, owner of Banco Master, records a series of meetings said to have taken place between the banker and Alexandre de Moraes, a justice of Brazil's Supreme Federal Court (STF). According to G1, the WhatsApp exchanges, which run from March 2024 to August 2025, involve interlocutors including former communications minister Fábio Faria, Vorcaro's partner, relatives, aides and employees. The document became public on Tuesday (Sept 1) after Justice André Mendonça, the rapporteur of the Master case at the STF, lifted its confidentiality.

The records sit in a chapter titled "other meetings between DANIEL VORCARO and ALEXANDRE DE MORAES", part of a police inquiry investigating the banker's relationships and activities. The conversations point to personal commitments, meetings at private homes and events in Brazil and abroad. The phone was seized in the Compliance Zero operation.

What the report registers

• March 13, 2024: Faria and Vorcaro arrange a chat over whisky with "Alex" in the early evening; the meeting is rescheduled because of Vorcaro's calendar.
• April 17, 2024: Faria asks for the address of Vorcaro's home in Lago Sul, Brasília, to pass along to "Alex", and says he will delete the messages afterwards.
• July 17, 2024: messages from Faria confirm a meeting with "Alexandre", also called "Careca", around 7:30 pm.
• Nov 5, 2024: in a chat with his daughter, Vorcaro writes: "I'm with alexandre moraes".
• Feb 26, 2025: a driver of Vorcaro's in Brasília messages that "Min Alexandre has arrived" at the residence.
• March 19 and 20, 2025: Vorcaro tells his girlfriend and a Central Bank director he is meeting the justice; according to the Federal Police, the gathering ran into the early hours of March 20 as lawmakers and political leaders arrived at the residence.
• April 19, 2025: a meeting during a holiday at a place near Vorcaro's home, in the Campos do Jordão region of São Paulo state.
• April 29 and May 21, 2025: Vorcaro tells his girlfriend he is with "alexandre"; in May he says he is at home with "Ciro and alexandre".
• Aug 8, 2025: Vorcaro says he will skip travel that day because he is "with alexandre", ahead of a meeting with Ciro.

A separate section of the same material describes a group visit to a hotel in Campos do Jordão on Dec 30, 2023. In the messages, Vorcaro tells staff to prepare a "complete experience" for "ultra VIP" guests, with nine people and four bodyguards, a singer and horses. During the visit, an employee reports that Vorcaro's personal chef took a photo with "the minister" and exchanged phone numbers with him; Vorcaro objects at first, then writes: "But if the minister asked for it, that's fine". Days earlier, according to the report, Fábio Faria had shared with Vorcaro a number saved in his contacts as "Alexandre de Moraes BRASÍLIA", also listed as "STF TSE NOVO" and "Eu STF". The Federal Police attributes the reference to the justice after analyzing the interactions between the two men.

The report also covers the organization of international events, above all the London Legal Forum held in April 2024 and sponsored by Banco Master. In the conversations, aides discuss invitations to authorities, panel programming and transport logistics for STF justices. Folha de S.Paulo reports that, according to the messages, Moraes suggested changes and vetoed guests of the forum. A 2025 edition was cancelled.

How the case reached this point

Vorcaro was arrested by the Federal Police on Nov 17, 2025, in the Compliance Zero operation, as he prepared to board a private jet bound for Malta. The seized phone produced the report now before the STF and the Attorney General's Office (PGR), the federal prosecution service. Messages revealed by the newspaper O Estado de S. Paulo and also obtained by Folha show Vorcaro seeking meetings with Moraes in the days before his arrest. On Nov 15, two days before the detention, he wrote: "Do you think I have to be out of the country by Monday?". The next day he sent: "I'm already on my flight, I'll land at 14:20 and will go straight there, ok?".

Vorcaro is an investigated party, and the meetings described in the report do not by themselves amount to a court finding on anyone's conduct. The next steps rest with the STF and the PGR. The material was sent to prosecutors for their position. On Tuesday, Mendonça asked the court's president, Justice Edson Fachin, to schedule an in-person plenary session to debate the evidence, a session he called "the inevitable path" and "the sovereign body to analyze, in a technical and strictly legal manner" the Federal Police material. Fachin sets the date, and no deadline has been announced.
