Following the second phase of Federal Police Operation Compliance Zero, lawyers for targets in the Banco Master fraud case report long queues at STF Justice Dias Toffoli's office for access to sealed files. Relatives of banker Daniel Vorcaro are under scrutiny for investments in a contested Amazonas carbon credits project.
As Operation Compliance Zero—targeting an alleged R$5.7 billion fraud scheme at Banco Master—progresses under STF Justice Dias Toffoli's rapporteurship, lawyers for an expanding list of targets are facing delays in accessing the sealed inquiry files. André Callegari, representing Henrique Vorcaro (Daniel's father), Natália Vorcaro (sister), and Thiago Assumpção, described a backlog of access requests awaiting Toffoli's approval. “According to information I obtained, there is a series of access requests awaiting the minister's approval,” Callegari told VEJA.
The Vorcaro relatives are partners in a company that invested in a carbon credits project covering 145,000 hectares in Amazonas from 2022 to 2024. More than half the area overlaps with public lands contested by Incra, making economic exploitation unfeasible. The investment involved quotas from a fund managed by Reag, which the Central Bank liquidated amid the probe.
This follows the operation's second phase on January 14, which executed over 40 search and seizure warrants across multiple states and blocked significant assets (as reported in prior coverage). The first phase in November 2025 included arrests, including Daniel Vorcaro's (later released), and 25 searches.
