Defense Says Vorcaro’s Seized Phone Shows Post‑Seizure Changes

Overview

• The Polícia Federal indicted Daniel Vorcaro and 14 others in a report sent to the STF on October 28 that alleges a R$12.2 billion scheme in the sale of a Master credit portfolio to BRB and accuses Vorcaro of a directive leadership role.
• Vorcaro's lawyers filed a private forensic report with the STF on October 29 that says hundreds of files on the cellphone seized by the PF on November 17, 2025 were created or modified while the device was in state custody.
• The defense is asking the court to preserve original raw extraction data, provide hash codes, and produce full chain‑of‑custody and handling records so independent experts can verify whether the PF's copies reflect the phone's true state.
• Vorcaro has denied fraud in a recorded October 15 deposition made public by the PF, repeated his request for an independent perícia, and asked for release while forensic questions and further investigation proceed.
• Investigators say the case involves complex structures tied to funds and a consulting firm called Tirreno and that contested accounting, documentary and digital forensics will determine whether BRB suffered losses and whether charges for fraud, money laundering and organized crime stand.
