According to the contract, the Barci de Moraes Office was to provide strategic and legal advice on procedures and investigations conducted by the Federal and Civil Police, as well as administrative procedures involving the Banco Central, the Federal Revenue and the Administrative Council of Economic Defense (Cade).

Contract prior payment of R$ 131 million

The contract between the office and the bank linked to the entrepreneur Daniel Vorcaro provided for payments that could reach approximately R$ 131 million. The amount would be divided into 36 monthly and successive installments, of about R$ 3.6 million each.

Payments, however, were halted following the settlement of Banco Master by Banco Central in November 2025. The disclosure of the full contract adds new elements to the investigations involving the bank and occurs amid the repercussion of information obtained by the Federal Police during the investigation of the so-called Master case.

The office said it had produced opinions.
