Senate Panel Summons Martha Graeff to Testify in Vorcaro Asset‑Shielding Probe

Lawmakers seek a first-hand account to verify message-based allegations of a US trust behind large asset transfers.

Overview

  • The Senate’s CPI of Organized Crime scheduled Graeff’s testimony for March 25 at 9 a.m., and the INSS CPMI also approved calling her as a witness.
  • Federal probe materials from Operação Carbono Oculto cite messages in which Daniel Vorcaro discussed creating a US trust for Graeff and asked for her passport.
  • Reporting based on those exchanges links more than R$520 million to the trust structure, including a Bay Point mansion in Miami priced around US$86.5 million and a US$10 million stake in Happy Aging.
  • Graeff’s lawyer says she had no knowledge of any transfers, received no assets, consulted a US attorney who found no trust in her name, and shows no change in declared patrimony.
  • Her defense condemns the leak of intimate messages and reports she fell into depression, while senators say her account could clarify motives, money flows, and relationships under scrutiny.
