Records Link Three STF Justices to Flights Operated by Companies Tied to Vorcaro

Fresh disclosures raise conflict-of-interest questions at Brazil’s top court.

Overview

  • Estadão reports that Justice Kassio Nunes Marques and his wife flew to Maceió in November 2025 on a Prime Aviation jet, with costs covered by an attorney who represents Banco Master, and the minister confirmed the trip.
  • Official flight and air-traffic logs show Justice Dias Toffoli entered Brasília’s executive terminal on July 4, 2025, minutes before Prime Aviation’s PR-SAD departed to Marília, with court security moved that day to a resort he frequents near the city.
  • Toffoli later stepped aside from cases tied to Banco Master after police disclosed messages involving him and Daniel Vorcaro, and the docket was reassigned to Justice André Mendonça.
  • Documents and seized messages cited by outlets indicate Justice Alexandre de Moraes took flights in May through August 2025 on aircraft operated by Prime and traveled on the eve of a meeting Vorcaro described in texts, while Moraes denies using the banker’s planes and his wife’s firm says it lawfully hired taxi-air services.
  • The reporting draws on ANAC and DECEA flight data, airport access records from Inframérica, and CPI and Federal Police materials, as NGOs such as Transparency International Brazil press for formal inquiries and Prime declines to name passengers, citing confidentiality and Brazil’s data-protection law.
