PGR asks STF to maintain Daniel Vorcaro's imprisonment

The Attorney General's Office (PGR), through the Attorney General Paulo Gonet, requested on Wednesday (11 Nov.2026) the president of Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF), Minister Edson Fachin, to maintain the pretrial detention of the founder of Banco Master, Daniel Vorcaro. The request was filed in the context of investigations that investigate the former banker’s actions in alleged criminal schemes. The PGR argues that the release would pose a concrete risk to the progress of the process.

According to the demonstration, the investigations of the Federal Police reinforce indications of Vorcaro’s involvement with schemes of corruption, financial fraud and money laundering. In addition, intimidation practices against journalists, competitors and former employees are cited. The prosecutor-general stressed that the defendant would still have the ability to interfere in the collection of evidence and in the hearing of witnesses.

Risks identified by the PGR

Paulo Gonet stated that Vorcaro continues to pose a risk of interference in the investigations, in addition to being able to hide assets and commit crimes again. The attorney general also mentioned the possibility that there are amounts of money not recovered by the Federal Police that can still be moved, including abroad. This scenario, according to the PGR, justifies the maintenance of preventive detention as a necessary precautionary measure.

The demonstration emphasizes that the freedom of the investigated could compromise the effectiveness of future judicial decisions, especially with regard to the recovery of assets. The PGR did not detail specific values, but indicated that there are indications of untraced financial movements. The source did not detail the amounts involved.

Requests related to other investigated

In addition to the arrest of Vorcaro, the PGR also spoke about the situation of three other investigators in the same case. The body has asked for the release of former federal police officer Marilson Roseno, who has been appointed as the operational leader of the intelligence militia headed by Vorcaro. The justification for this request was not detailed in the public demonstration.

On the other hand, the PGR requested the easing of the precautionary measures imposed on Belline Santana, former head of the Banking Supervision Department of Banco Central. According to the investigations, Santana was possibly receiving millionaire bribes to act as an informant and defender of Vorcaro’s interests. The flexibilization, in this case, could include replacing the prison with other measures, but the source did not detail what they would be.

It was also requested to relax the precautionary measures imposed on Ana Cláudia Queiroz de Paiva, who acted as direct assistant to Vorcaro and was one of the main responsible for the financial operationalization and execution of payments linked to the former Bank group. The PGR did not explain the reasons for these requests for flexibilization, limiting itself to registering them in the petition.

Next steps on the STF

Now it is up to STF to decide whether to comply with the PGR’s request. Minister Edson Fachin, as rapporteur or chairman, should examine the arguments presented and make a decision. There is no set deadline for this analysis, and the source did not detail whether there will be a demonstration of the defense before the decision.

The maintenance of the preventive detention of Daniel Vorcaro is considered a key piece for the progress of the investigations, according to the PGR. If the STF decides to release him, the former banker could respond freely, with or without precautionary measures. The decision will also impact the other investigators, whose situations were treated in the same petition.
