Alcolumbre denies irregularities after messages with banker

The president of the Senate, Davi Alcolumbre, this week denied any irregularities after the release of messages pointing to a strong friendship between the parliamentary and Daniel Vorcaro, owner of the Banco Master. The conversations, revealed in September 2026, show the use of affectionate terms and cite private parties. Alcolumbre claims to be the target of intimidation and promises to prosecute the publications.

According to the senator, the alleged messages have a strictly personal content and do not bring any evidence of crime or illegal conduct. In a statement, he described the episode as an "unfair attack" and "cheap sensationalism". The parliamentarian said he knows who is behind the accusations and what interests motivate this offensive, stating that he will not be intimidated.

Informal and caring treatment in messages

The messages attributed to the senator indicate an informal and caring treatment between the two. After Alcolumbre was elected to the Senate, Vorcaro congratulated him and the senator would have responded by calling him "love" and "brother for life", thanking him for the affection and fraternal friendship. The former banker returned with heartfelt emojis and promised to be available to the parliamentarian at any time.

In addition to the greetings, the reports indicate the organization of exclusive parties, which would involve drinks and even the coming of women from Europe to participate in the events in a private environment. The source did not detail when or where these parties would have occurred. Alcolumbre did not specifically comment on this point, merely denying illegalities.

The Senator’s Reaction and Promise of Legal Action

In his note, Alcolumbre stated that the publications constitute an attack on his honor and that it will take the case to the latest consequences in the Judiciary. The objective, according to him, is to identify those responsible for achieving their public trajectory and ensure that the truth is fully established. The senator did not inform the deadlines or what legal measures will be adopted.

The parliamentarian also stressed that his relationship with Vorcaro is personal in nature and does not interfere in his public functions. “There is no illegality in maintaining friendships,” he said in the statement. The Senate’s advice did not express itself beyond the official statement.

Role of Fábio Faria as intermediary

Fábio Faria, former communications minister, is pointed out as the intermediary that connected the senator and the banker in message groups. The source did not detail how this intermediation took place or the specific content of the conversations in the groups. Faria has not spoken publicly about the case so far.

The revelation of the messages takes place in a context of greater scrutiny of the relations between public agents and the financial sector. Experts heard by the report point out that, without evidence of favoritism or exchange of benefits, conversations alone do not constitute a crime. However, the exhibition could generate political wear and tear for Alcolumbre, who has been the president of the Senate since February 2025.

Political context and next steps

Alcolumbre is one of the main articulators of the government in Congress and his management at the head of the Senate has been marked by economic guidelines and reforms. The controversy may spill over into the legislative agenda, although allies of the senator minimize the impact. “This is an attempt to destabilize the president of the Senate,” said a close lawmaker, who asked for anonymity.

The Banco Master, in turn, did not express itself about the messages. The financial institution has grown rapidly in recent years, with operations in consigned credit and acquisition of other portfolios. The relationship between Vorcaro and politicians has already been the subject of previous reports, but without judicial unfoldings.

Meanwhile, Alcolumbre promises to continue with the lawsuits and says he will not back down. "I will not be intimidated by cowardly attacks," he said. The case should gain new chapters in the coming days, with the possible identification of those responsible for the publications and the analysis of the Judiciary on the content of the messages.

For the reader, the episode raises questions about the boundaries between personal and public life of authorities. Follow the updates on Boca no Trombone for more information on this and other national policy topics.
