Nikolas Ferreira exposes conversations between Vorcaro and Alexandre de Moraes and questions the absence of dialogues with his wife Viviane, hired by Banco Master

Federal deputy Nikolas Ferreira (PL-MG) intensified his criticism of Minister Alexandre de Moraes (STF) by exposing and commenting on messages exchanged between banker Daniel Vorcaro, former owner of Banco Master, and the magistrate. In a video published on social media and in posts, Ferreira highlighted dialogues revealed by the Federal Police and the press, which occurred on November 17, 2025 – the date of Vorcaro's first arrest by the Federal Police – and questioned the absence of recorded contacts between the banker and lawyer Viviane Barci de Moraes, the minister's wife and hired by the bank.

The messages, extracted from Vorcaro's cell phone and published in a report by journalist Malu Gaspar in the newspaper O Globo, include attempts by Vorcaro to contact Moraes hours before his arrest, with phrases such as "Did you manage to block it?" and references to liquidity crises at Banco Master. Ferreira classified the episode as serious, stating that "for much less, Alexandre de Moraes would have already arrested Alexandre de Moraes" and that the minister's fate "is not impeachment, it's jail."

The congressman argues that the conversations suggest possible obstruction of justice or favoritism, especially considering the R$ 129 million contract (in monthly installments of R$ 3.6 million) signed between Banco Master and the Barci de Moraes law firm, headed by Viviane and with the participation of the couple's children. What most caught the attention of Ferreira and opposition allies, such as Congressman Gustavo Gayer (PL-GO), is the lack of any record of messages, calls, or contacts between Vorcaro and Viviane in the data examined by the Federal Police. "The most impressive thing about all this is that Vorcaro paid R$ 3.6 million to Moraes' wife per month, but didn't call or exchange messages with her even once," said Gayer, echoed by Ferreira.

The congressman publicly questioned: why did the banker, about to be arrested, seek out the minister directly and not his hired lawyer? The suspicion raised is that Moraes was acting in defense of the bank's interests, in addition to his wife's formal role. Moraes denied receiving the cited messages, classifying the accusations as "false inferences," and stated that any screenshots would be in "other people's folders." Viviane Barci de Moraes also denied receiving the aforementioned messages. The contract with Master, signed in 2024 and revealed in December 2025, provided for legal counsel, but the bank was liquidated by the Central Bank last November, amidst Operation Compliance Zero, which investigates billion-dollar financial frauds.

The case fuels pressure from the opposition for a Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry into Banco Master in Congress and for greater ethical scrutiny in the Supreme Federal Court (STF). Members of the Liberal Party (PL) advocate for a thorough investigation by the Attorney General's Office (PGR) and criminal accountability, while the episode reinforces the clash between Bolsonaro's supporters and the Judiciary in an election year. To date, there has been no official statement from the STF or the PGR regarding Ferreira's new allegations.
