STF Relator to Decide Where Daniel Vorcaro Will Be Held

This choice will determine how authorities protect Vorcaro while preserving the chance of renewed cooperation with investigators.

O dono do Banco Master, Daniel Vorcaro

Overview

  • Daniel Vorcaro remains housed in the Federal Police 'carceragem vip' in Brasília and is expected to stay there for an indeterminate period.
  • STF relator André Mendonça has signaled he will issue a placement decision soon and has indicated he plans to decide next week.
  • The Federal Police leadership prefers moving Vorcaro out of the superintendence but says it lacks a secure permanent facility to receive him.
  • Officials have rejected transfer to the Papuda complex because of weaker prison security and to the 19th PM Battalion known as Papudinha because former BRB president Paulo Henrique Costa is already held there, creating a risk of contact between suspects.
  • If no alternative meets safety and operational requirements, the PF cell currently used by Vorcaro could become his long-term location, a result that could slow cooperation efforts and fuel political criticism of how the case is being handled.
