Martha Graeff Denies Role in Banco Master Case, Calls Leak an 'Atrocity'

Her rebuttal sharpens scrutiny of leaked chats under review by police and Congress.

Overview

  • Graeff, who posted a video Wednesday, said she did not know of any wrongdoing by ex‑fiancé Daniel Vorcaro, is not under investigation, and did not receive a mansion, car, or boat.
  • The WhatsApp exchanges at the center of the case were captured by federal investigators in March under a court‑approved data sweep and later leaked, exposing private messages and claims of access to top officials.
  • Reports and materials sent to congressional inquiries describe talks about shifting assets to her name and creating a trust, with a Miami mansion bought for about US$86.5 million cited as a key asset, which her lawyers flatly deny.
  • Vorcaro remains in preventive detention under Operation Compliance Zero and is reported to be negotiating a possible plea deal as investigators track funds and property that could be seized if proven illicit.
  • She was called to testify before congressional committees but has not appeared, and lawmakers are weighing next steps as she resides in the United States.
