According to CNN Brasil, a private forensic report commissioned by the defense found 657 files modified on Vorcaro's phone on November 18, 2025, hours after his arrest, while the device was already with the Federal Police. The report does not say who made the changes or conclude they were deliberate, and acknowledges that the logged USB connection may have been for charging only. The defense asked the Supreme Court for access to the original extraction and chain-of-custody records, and for his detention to be replaced with other measures. The report carries no response from the Federal Police. (CNN Brasil)

In a partial report sent to the Supreme Court and the Prosecutor General's Office, the Federal Police formally named Vorcaro and 14 other suspects, including former BRB president Paulo Henrique Costa, as suspects (indiciamento) for fraudulent management, criminal organization and money laundering. The police describe Vorcaro as the group's decision-making center, cite about R$ 2.7 billion in losses already recognized, and asked for 60 more days to finish forensic work. This is not a formal charge: the Prosecutor General decides whether to file one. The defense called the move “hasty and rash”, said no official forensic report found any loss to BRB, and asked for his release and for the inquiry to be closed.

The Chamber of Deputies' Public Security Committee approved request 348/2026, by congressmen Marcel van Hattem (Novo-RS) and Cabo Gilberto Silva (PL-PB), to hear the Federal Police director-general about references to his name in messages attributed to Vorcaro and about the suspect's own claims of threats and mistreatment in custody. The text acknowledges that these statements “are allegations by the suspect and cannot be treated as proven facts”. No hearing date has been set, and the report records no response from the Federal Police. (Revista Oeste)

According to Revista Oeste and Hora Jurídica, EFB, Master's liquidator, asked a US court to annul the January 2024 transfer, made in the divorce settlement, of the companies that own a penthouse in Sunny Isles Beach, Florida, valued at US$25.8 million. The liquidator argues Vorcaro kept control of the property: his ex-wife paid nothing for it, the family trust kept paying its upkeep and the transfer order came from an attorney-in-fact acting for him. Vorcaro's lawyers said they would not comment, and his ex-wife's lawyers could not be reached. The case number has not been disclosed. (Revista Oeste, Hora Jurídica (HJUR))

According to messages obtained by Agência Pública, singer Gusttavo Lima proposed to Vorcaro in November 2024 an “Operation Super BH”: supplying payment terminals to the Super BH supermarket chain in Minas Gerais, with a volume estimated in the messages at R$23 billion a year.

Agência Pública published messages intercepted by the Federal Police in which Vorcaro, in April 2024, complains to pastor André Valadão about a post by congressman Nikolas Ferreira (PL-MG) on a London event organized by Master: “The one who sent it to me was a left-wing blog, which knows we support the right.” According to the report, Nikolas sent Vorcaro a voice message in March 2025 apologizing for the posts. Vorcaro's press office said he would comment from October 19, and the report records no response from Nikolas or Valadão. (Agência Pública)

In a TV Globo interview, senator and presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro said of the money he asked Vorcaro for the film that “it was a contract that was not fulfilled”, made “at a time when he had absolutely nothing wrong”. On his relationship with the banker, he said: “On my side, there is nothing wrong”. According to the reports, he did not explain why he asked for about R$134 million, nearly double the R$75 million the producer Go Up says the film cost, nor did he present an accounting.

In his third testimony on Master's dealings with BRB, lasting about four hours at the prison unit in Brasília, Vorcaro denies fraud and says the transactions were lawful and caused the bank no losses. In a statement, his lawyers say they want to “bury once and for all the fanciful narrative of fraud and losses”, blame BRB's crisis on the “hasty launch” of Compliance Zero and ask for the inquiry to be closed and the detention revoked. According to the Federal Police, about R$12.2 billion of BRB's transactions with Master show signs of fraud. (Itatiaia, SBT News)

Grupo Globo dismissed Frederic Kachar, its director-general of print media and radio. In a statement, it said his private conversations with Vorcaro, from October 2023 to July 2025, which it had accessed the day before, reveal “an inappropriate relationship between the executive and an advertiser”, and reaffirmed the “absolute editorial independence” of its outlets. According to Poder360, the full extraction of Vorcaro's phone is circulating among news outlets. The report records no statement from Kachar. (Poder360)

In a meeting of about an hour and a half with Federal Police director-general Andrei Rodrigues, the Supreme Court president says the police must send the court “all mentions of the Court's justices” found in the investigation. According to Agência Brasil, the full court will decide on any investigations after an opinion from the Prosecutor General's Office. SBT News reported that the material mentions, directly or indirectly, at least six justices or their relatives; a mention does not imply wrongdoing, and the justices deny any misconduct.

In a reply to congressman Lindbergh Farias (PT, Rio de Janeiro) dated October 13 and reported by O Globo on October 16, Master's liquidator said “no documents, accounting or contractual records were found” of the bank financing or sponsoring the film Dark Horse, nor records of transactions between the group's institutions and the Havengate Development Fund LP. On Entre Investimentos, which the Federal Police identifies as the go-between for the payments, it invoked bank secrecy. The reply covers only Master's institutions; the payments remain under investigation. Flávio Bolsonaro's office told Folha he did not take part in making the payments and denies receiving any benefit. (ICL Notícias, Brasil 247 (com informações de O Globo))

After a magazine released audio attributed to Vorcaro, the Federal Police says he gave no testimony with the reported content and that his plea deal proposals “were not accepted because they did not meet legal requirements”. The Prosecutor General's Office says “there was no oral testimony” precisely because of the rejection. The defense is split: one lawyer recognizes the voice but says he does not know when or how it was recorded; a note from the others does not recognize the material's “origin, authenticity and integrity”. The audio's allegations have not been proven. (Correio Braziliense, ICL Notícias)
