Daniel Vorcaro, owner of Banco Master, denied to the Federal Police having defrauded credit portfolios worth R$ 12.2 billion sold to BRB, claiming he did not know which were good or bad. The portfolios, acquired from Tirreno consultancy, allegedly originated from payroll loans via Bahia public server associations, but indications point to forgery to inflate the bank's balance. The testimony took place on December 30, 2025, at the STF, under the rapporteurship of Dias Toffoli.
