Federal Police to rewrite reports on Supreme Court ministers and former banker Vorcaro

Brazil's Federal Police will rewrite reports concerning the relationship between Supreme Court ministers and former banker Daniel Vorcaro, who is linked to Banco Master. The revised documents are expected to be sent to the court by the end of this month.

The reports were originally requested by Supreme Court President Edson Fachin in a letter sent to the police at the beginning of October. According to the Federal Police, the documents are being prepared under terms agreed between Fachin and institution representatives during a meeting on October 13.

“The mega-deal operation continues at full speed in Brasilia. We need to resist by all possible means.”

Police leadership requested the reformulation after determining that initial reports contained analyses and information crossings that could be interpreted by the Supreme Court as investigative acts against magistrates without judicial authorization. The new guidance calls for an individual document for each minister cited, limited to presenting gathered information without content analysis, data crossing, or value judgments.

The procedure seeks to respect rules established by Loman, the National Magistrature Organic Law, and the Supreme Court's internal regulations, which set specific procedures for investigations involving magistrates. Only the Supreme Court will evaluate the information and decide whether elements exist to justify deepening investigations.

The Federal Police also removed two delegates from leadership roles in investigations related to Banco Master. Daniel Mostardeiro Cola, general coordinator for repression of corruption, financial crimes, and money laundering, and Wedson Cajé Lopes, eventual substitute for the coordination, were both relieved of their duties.

Senator Alessandro Vieira of MDB-SE filed a request on Tuesday to summon Justice Minister Wellington César Lima e Silva and Federal Police Director General Andrei Rodrigues to explain the report reformulation. Vieira criticized the decision on social media, linking it to the removal of the delegates and calling it part of a mega-deal operation in Brasilia.
