Overview

  • Gilmar Mendes delivered the decisive fourth vote to keep Daniel Vorcaro jailed, joining André Mendonça, Luiz Fux and Kássio Nunes Marques, with Dias Toffoli recused.
  • Mendes rejected Mendonça’s reliance on broad notions such as “social pacification,” “credibility of justice” and a “swift response,” and he denounced selective leaks of seized messages.
  • He pressed for a substantive opinion from the Prosecutor General’s Office and allowed for reexamination of measures after that filing.
  • Vorcaro is now held at the Federal Police superintendence in Brasília after a transfer from a federal penitentiary, and he signed a confidentiality pact that opened initial plea‑deal talks as defense visits continued on Saturday.
  • Federal Police allege a structured scheme at Banco Master spanning financial fraud, corruption, asset concealment and an intimidation arm, supported in part by data seized from Vorcaro’s phones.
