These devices will be placed alongside the others that were seized from the banker since his first arrest.
The Federal Police seized three cell phones with businessman Daniel Vorcaro, from Banco Master, when complying with the court orders issued by Minister André Mendonça, of the Federal Supreme Court (STF), last Wednesday (4) and arresting the banker for the second time.
These cell phones will be placed alongside the other devices seized from the banker since his first arrest, in November 2025, and will undergo expertise.
The information was initially published by the G1 website and confirmed by Estadão.
The contents will be analyzed and there is still no clarity whether the files are more relevant than those found on the cell phone he was using when he was first arrested.
In a note released by Vorcaro’s defense this Saturday (7), it was charged for access to raw data of the device to carry out an independent examination. For the banker’s lawyers, the request, presented on February 16, gained “special relevance” after the disclosure of his conversations. Among them, one with Minister Alexandre de Moraes, from the STF.
“O objective is to allow independent analysis by a defense technical assistant, as provided for in procedural legislation, ensuring that digital evidence is examined with transparency, integrity and respect for due legal process, including to assess the legality of the procedures used to obtain this evidence”, he highlighted.
Vorcaro Prisons
Vorcaro was arrested for the first time on November 17, 2025 when he tried to board at Guarulhos Airport (SP) to Dubai. He said he was going to do business with investors, but the PF points out that it was a subterfuge to escape on a jet to Malta because he knew there was an arrest warrant. He was released 12 days later, with an electronic ankle bracelet.
The businessman was arrested again after the PF, when analyzing messages exchanged by him on chat applications, discovered evidence that the owner of Master ordered the invasion of the Federal Public Ministry’s computer systems to obtain copies of confidential documents from investigations against him, in addition to asking for the monitoring of opponents and even violent actions against a journalist.
last Wednesday (4), in São Paulo, during the third phase of Operation Compliance Zero, an investigation that investigates an alleged billion-dollar financial fraud scheme. He had been arrested for the first time in November 2025 during the initial phase of the same operation, but was under house arrest.
This week, confirmed by the Jovem Pan report, the banker was taken, after arrest, to the Federal Police Superintendence in São Paulo. Vorcaro’s brother-in-law, Fabiano Zettel, was also the subject of an arrest warrant. He surrendered to the PF on Wednesday morning.
This Friday (6) the banker was transferred to the Brasília Federal Penitentiary following a request from the Federal Police (PF) to Minister André Mendonça. According to the PF, the request was due to the physical integrity of the person being investigated, as the law guarantees the decision and also due to Vorcaro’s great “articulation and influence” over actors from public authorities and the private sector, with the capacity to interfere directly or indirectly in the conduct of investigations.
