STF: 10 ministers cited in Vorcaro's cell phone

The phone of the former banker Daniel Vorcaro, founder of Banco Master, contains mentions to all 10 ministers of Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF). The information is contained in material obtained by the press and analyzed by the Federal Police. Messages include contact attempts, reports of meetings and discussions about processes of interest to the Master group. The ministers deny any irregularities and point out that in some cases they voted against the former banker’s interests.

The following are in alphabetical order, the 10 magistrates of STF (one seat has been vacant for 1 year, since the early retirement of Minister Roberto Barroso) and the mentions to each of them on Vorcaro’s mobile phone:

Alexandre de Moraes: contracts and lunch

Minister Alexandre de Moraes appears in messages related to contracts between Banco Master and his wife’s office, Viviane Barci de Moraes. Master negotiated two contracts with Viviane's office. The 2nd contract also had a validity of 3 years and established a maximum remuneration limit of R$ 50 million. A payment for transfer of shares of two companies linked to private aircraft was discussed. Viviane's office said that this second agreement was never signed.

There was also a lunch organized by Vorcaro for Moraes on December 30, 2023. It was held in Campos do Jordão (SP). The former banker referred to the minister of STF as his “most important guest to date”. The event chef took a photo with the magistrate. Moraes released two notes and a briefing about his relationship with Vorcaro. He denied being the recipient of the messages sent by the former banker and called the conversations “FANTASTIC DIALOGUES.”

André Mendonça: meeting in March

There are also mentions of a meeting in Mendonça with Vorcaro held in March 2025. At the time, the Master was not the target of investigations. The minister claimed to have dealt with the former banker of an action on precautions that he was processing in the Court. In the end, he voted against the former banker’s interests.

Cármen Lúcia: audio about trial

The minister Cármen Lúcia is quoted by lawyer Ciro Soares in an audio sent to Vorcaro on May 30, 2024. Soares mentions Cármen’s vote in trial on the obligation of prior public appeal for the opening of new medical courses. Vorcaro was interested in the case because the Calêndula fund, linked to the Master, was a creditor of Aelbra, maintainer of Ulbra (Lutheran University of Brazil), which sought to expand its medical positions and had a process under analysis at the MEC.

Cristiano Zanin: failed attempt

In another message, from February 20, 2024, the former partner of the Master Mauricio Quadrado asks Vorcaro if the lawyer Walfrido Mares Guia could talk to Zanin about the ADC 81. The minister of the STF reported that he was never sought nor dealt with cases in the Supreme Court with the lawyer. “Minister Cristiano Zanin has never had any relationship with Daniel Vorcaro or Chiquinho Feitosa. “He never dined with them, received them in court or talked about anything,” the statement said.

“Regarding Feitosa, Power360 itself issued a statement in which it denies having been with the minister: ‘In fact, I have never had dinner with Minister Zanin, and I have never dealt with any matter of any nature with him,’” he adds. The messages themselves show that Daniel Vorcaro and its interlocutors had no channel of communication with Minister Zanin.

The dialogue shows that the thought of an attempt at contact was unsuccessful, so much so that the subject was not even mentioned again.” The cabinet reiterates that Zanin “never maintained any interlocution with Daniel Vorcaro.”

Dias Toffoli: family business

According to Toffoli, Maridt is a family-owned company. He stated that he was not a director of the company, only a member of the corporate board and received dividends.

Edson Fachin: office at PF

With the wording that Fachin used in his office, the mere mention of a name of a minister of the Supreme will oblige the PF to produce a report.

Gilmar Mendes: dinner and vote

The dean of the Supreme Court is quoted in the contact list sent by Ana Matos to Vorcaro on February 21, 2025. Gilmar is indicated in the column “BSB”, the acronym used to refer to the federal capital. Lobbyist and businessman Chiquinho Feitosa, brother of lawyer Guiomar Feitosa (ex-wife of Gilmar Mendes), told Vorcaro on May 28, 2024, at 8:55 p.m., that he was having dinner with the dean and the minister. The Master’s founder replied, “Great.”

There is also a mention of the trial of ARE 1327995 in the 2nd Class. At the time, Gilmar voted against the interests of the Master together with Mendonça. The action concerned the payment of precautions and indemnities by the Union to the Alcídia Distillery. In a statement, Gilmar’s office said the minister voted against Master’s interests and was defeated. About the dinner mentioned by Chiquinho Feitosa, he again said that the magistrate did not participate in the event.

Luiz Fux: no detailed mentions

The source did not detail specific mentions to Minister Luiz Fux on Vorcaro’s cell phone.

Nunes Marques: without detailed mentions

The source did not detail specific mentions to Minister Nunes Marques on Vorcaro’s cell phone.

Roberto Barroso: chair vacant

Minister Roberto Barroso retired early 1 year ago, leaving a vacant seat in the STF. The source did not detail mentions of him on Vorcaro's cell phone.

On October 1, 2024, the former legal director of the Master Luiz Rennó celebrated the result of a judgment on the sugar-alcohol sector, case of interest of the Master and involving the payment of precautions. The mention does not specify which minister was rapporteur or voted in that case.

The revelations about Vorcaro’s mobile messages raise questions about the relationship between the private sector and STF ministers. All the magistrates cited deny any irregular conduct and point out that, on several occasions, they voted against the interests of the former banker. The Federal Police shall produce reports on each mention, as determined by Minister Edson Fachin.
