PF Report on Vorcaro Puts Toffoli’s Role Under Review at the STF

Overview

• The Federal Police delivered to President Edson Fachin a roughly 200-page report from Daniel Vorcaro’s seized phone that logs calls with Dias Toffoli, a birthday invitation and payment-related conversations tied to the Tayayá resort linked to his family.
• Fachin opened an internal proceeding and notified Toffoli to respond, and he may either reject the matter or submit a recusal incident to the plenary, potentially in a secret session under Article 282 of the court’s rules.
• Toffoli’s office labeled the material “conjecture,” argued the police lack standing to seek his recusal and said he will reply to Fachin; PF leadership has stated it is not the police’s role to argue recusal.
• The Prosecutor-General’s Office requested the full report to assess next steps in the Banco Master case.
• Opposition lawmakers intensified pressure with calls for impeachment, a CPMI and new CPI moves, including planned post-Carnival votes on subpoenas and financial secrecy breaks tied to Maridt and Tayayá.
