Minister Dias Toffoli, of the Federal Supreme Court (STF), decided this Thursday (29) to remove the confidentiality of the statements of banker Daniel Vorcaro and former president of Banco de Brasília (BRB) Paulo Henrique Costa in the investigation investigating fraud at Banco Master. The hearings were held on December 30th of last year by the Federal Police (PF) and the Attorney General’s Office (PGR). 
The decision was made after the Central Bank requested access to the testimony given by Ailton de Aquino Santos, director of Inspection at the municipality, who was also heard.
In December last year, Toffoli decided that the investigation into Banco Master should be carried out by the STFand not in the Federal Court in Brasília. The measure was taken following the summons of a federal deputy in the investigations. Parliamentarians have a privileged forum in the Court.
In November 2025, the banker Daniel Vorcaro and other defendants were the target of Operation Compliance Zero, launched by the Federal Police (PF) to investigate the granting of false credits by Banco Master, including the attempted purchase of the financial institution by Banco de Brasília (BRB), a public bank linked to the government of the Federal District. According to investigations, fraud could reach R$17 billion.
In addition to Vorcaro, former directors Luiz Antonio Bull, Alberto Feliz de Oliveira and Angelo Antonio Ribeiro da Silva are also being investigated, as well as Augusto Ferreira Lima, a former partner at the bank.
