The defense of banker Daniel Vorcaro, owner of Banco Master, reiterated this Saturday (7) to the Federal Supreme Court (STF) a request for access to the examinations carried out by the Federal Police (PF) on the electronic devices that were seized in the Operation Compliance Zero investigation, which investigates fraud at the bank.
According to lawyers, access was requested on February 14 to verify the integrity of the material and assess whether there was hasty or technically inappropriate handling.
The defense wants access to the raw data extracted from Vorcaro’s cell phones and other devices.
“The 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,” stated the defense.
Lawyers also expressed concern about the leak of the banker’s personal conversations.
“The defense once again reiterated its concern about selective leaks of content that would be under judicial secrecy and reaffirmed its commitment to using any material obtained exclusively for procedural purposes, preserving the confidentiality of the information”, added the lawyers.
On Friday (6), Minister André Mendonça, rapporteur of the case, ordered the opening of an investigation at the Federal Police (PF) to investigate the leak.
Remember the case
Daniel Vorcaro was arrested again on Wednesday (4) morning by the Federal Police, in the third phase of Operation Compliance Zero.
Last year, the businessman was also the target of an arrest warrant for the operation, but gained the right to provisional release, using an electronic ankle bracelet.
The new arrest was based on messages found on the banker’s cell phone, seized in the first phase of the operation. In the messages, Vorcaro threatens journalists and people who would have gone against his interests.
Compliance Zero investigates billion-dollar fraud at Banco Master, which caused a loss of up to R$47 billion to the Credit Guarantee Fund for reimbursement to investors.
