Moraes Attended Vorcaro’s Brasília Dinner During Banco Master Contract With Wife’s Firm

Overview

• Reporting says Alexandre de Moraes was the only Supreme Court minister at a dinner hosted by then–Banco Master owner Daniel Vorcaro at a R$36 million Lago Sul mansion in late 2024 with roughly twenty political guests.
• At the time, Banco Master had hired the Barci de Moraes firm, linked to Moraes’s wife, on a R$3.6 million‑per‑month, 36‑month agreement to represent the bank before the Central Bank, the Federal Revenue Service and Congress, with a potential total of up to R$129 million.
• Documents said to reproduce that contract were found on Vorcaro’s phone after his arrest in the Federal Police’s Compliance Zero operation, according to the coverage.
• Separate reports state that Moraes had calls and at least one meeting with Central Bank president Gabriel Galípolo regarding the proposed sale of Banco Master to BRB, as BC technicians flagged alleged fraud tied to R$12.2 billion in credits.
• In an official note, Moraes said his meeting with Galípolo centered on the Magnitsky law, and opposition figures now talk of pursuing a responsibility complaint, with no judicial finding against the minister reported.
