CPMI Chief Says Toffoli Ordered Vorcaro Records Removed From INSS Inquiry

The committee had begun reviewing court‑ordered data from bank accounts alongside WhatsApp messages tied to an alleged multibillion‑real BRB credit scheme.

Overview

  • Senator Carlos Viana said an STF decision by Minister Dias Toffoli directed the removal or recollection of documents on Banco Master owner Daniel Vorcaro from the CPMI do INSS.
  • Viana condemned the move as a grave interference and pledged to take all legal measures to safeguard the commission’s authority and the integrity of its work.
  • Gazeta do Povo reported that Toffoli rejected a bid to halt the secrecy breaks but determined the information be stored with the Senate Presidency, while the STF said it had no information to share about the order.
  • Earlier on Friday, O Globo reported the CPMI had started receiving material from the approved banking, fiscal and telematic secrecy breaks, with Vorcaro’s WhatsApp messages under restricted, confidential review by members.
  • Toffoli had already centralized control of the Vorcaro probe on December 3, and the investigation targets alleged fraud involving BRB credit sales and consignado operations with estimated losses between R$10 billion and R$12.2 billion.
