Mendonça Asks PGR to Rule on Police Request to Transfer Vorcaro to Papuda

Overview

• The Federal Police told STF minister André Mendonça on June 12 that it rejected Daniel Vorcaro's second plea offer and asked that he be removed from the PF superintendence and sent to the Papuda penitentiary.
• Mendonça ordered the Prosecutor-General's Office to state its position on the PF request, making the PGR's reply the next formal step in the dispute over custody and cooperation.
• Vorcaro remains in the PF's adapted 'state-major' room while he continues negotiating a cooperation deal with the PGR, after Mendonça allowed his return there in late May to resume talks.
• PF investigators said the second collaboration proposal produced no new facts that would expand the probe, and they argued the standard prison system is more suitable than the PF facility for his long-term detention.
• The Compliance Zero investigation has opened multiple phases with large seizures and arrests, and the PGR decision could decide whether Vorcaro's statements widen the probe or whether he serves preventive detention in a common prison, affecting his safety and the pace of evidence gathering.
