Leandro Ruschel stated that a reporter from Veja considered that the attention given to the recording published by the magazine would be diverting focus from more serious allegations based on messages found on Daniel Vorcaro's cell phone. According to Ruschel, the reporter said that messages from 2024 and 2025 would indicate a collusion with executives from the pension funds of Banco do Brasil, Caixa, Petrobras, and Correios to raise R$ 10 billion, of which R$ 1 billion would be destined to the PT as a bribe. The account also mentioned more than 450 messages with an operator linked to the office of Minister Alexandre Padilha. Ruschel said that, according to the report, Banco Master entered in May 2024 a government list that would allow it to receive investments from the funds, despite having low credit ratings and being under investigation for fraud. During the same period, the bank reportedly negotiated R$ 500 million in credit letters with Caixa; the operation retreated after O Globo reported, in July 2024, the removal of two managers who had issued a negative opinion. The report also claimed that Padilha had said, in a meeting at the Palácio do Planalto, that agreements made with Olavo Noleto would count as agreements with the minister himself, and that, after dinner at Vorcaro's house in October 2024, the banker received a message saying that Lula would meet him and had liked the conversation. According to Ruschel, the reporter stated that Lula received Vorcaro in December and that messages from lawyer Walfrido Warde suggested pressure on the Central Bank to save Master. He added that Vorcaro would have presented the account to the Attorney General's Office (PGR), which had refused to receive the material, and that there would be evidence involving PGR members who had contact with the defense. Ruschel said that the reporter argued that Vorcaro should be heard and warned of the risk of diverting workers' resources to save the bank. #Corrupção #Política #Justiça (translated)

José Morón wrote that Djokovic, whom he described as very tired, had lost to a great Hurkacz. He pointed out that the Pole had withdrawn injured a week earlier and deemed his performance commendable. According to Morón, Djokovic's chances of qualifying for the ATP Finals had become complicated and he would likely need several victories in Paris to reach Turin. He added that the players coming behind were putting pressure on and that an interesting week was approaching in Shanghai. #Tenis #Djokovic #Hurkacz (translated)

Henrique Esteter wrote that, according to a report by VEJA published this Friday, Daniel Vorcaro claimed to have allocated R$ 30 million in cash, off the books, to finance a documentary about Lula and make payments related to the Lula Institute. According to the account, Vorcaro allegedly negotiated the supposed scheme with João Vaccari Neto, former treasurer of the PT, so that the Master Bank could raise funds from pension funds of state-owned companies, including Previ, Petros, and Postalis. The agreement would include a 10% fee on the raised amounts, which could result in up to R$ 1 billion in bribes if the deals were finalized. Esteter added that Vorcaro also accused Minister Alexandre Padilha and Olavo Noleto, then executive secretary, of participating in the negotiations. Messages obtained by the Federal Police would record contacts, meetings, and a private dinner between the banker and government members. Vorcaro also claimed that Padilha and his operators received at least R$ 6 million in deals with municipal funds. The allegations would have been presented to the Attorney General's Office during a failed plea bargain attempt, which was rejected, according to Esteter. #Lula #PT #Corrupção (translated)

Leonardo Dias wrote that, according to VEJA magazine (issue 3016, from 10/9/2026), Daniel Vorcaro reportedly detailed in audio and in material submitted to the PGR in June how Banco Master obtained access to the pension funds of state entities. In the version attributed to Vorcaro, Jaques Wagner allegedly facilitated the connection, and partner Augusto Lima reportedly met with João Vaccari Neto. Dias stated that Vorcaro described a payment of about R$ 30 million in cash for Oliver Stone's documentary about Lula, through Paulo Okamotto, in addition to an undisclosed amount to the Lula Institute. Later, according to the report, the Master would pay 10% of what it raised from the funds of BB, Caixa, Petrobras, and Correios: Vorcaro estimated R$ 1 billion for the PT and R$ 9 billion for himself. The author also mentioned messages found on Vorcaro's cell phone. According to Dias, an operator identified as Júlio introduced him to Olavo Noleto, the executive secretary of Alexandre Padilha. On 4/29/2024, Master was said to have entered a list that released the funds; on the same day, Júlio allegedly demanded R$ 500,000. Two days later, a dinner with Padilha was said to have occurred at the banker’s house. In October, Júlio reportedly wrote that the president would meet with Vorcaro. Dias added that Padilha allegedly said dealing with Noleto was equivalent to dealing with him. According to the author, the operation stopped in July 2024, after it became public that Caixa managers opposed to the deal had lost their positions. Vorcaro was said to have claimed that municipal funds yielded R$ 6 million to Padilha’s group. Dias compared this amount to the more than R$ 60 million from Dark Horse and reported that Vorcaro differentiated the payments linked to Lula from those related to Flávio. Dias noted that Lula, Padilha, and Noleto denied the accusations. He also stated that there was no evidence that the meeting with Lula promised by Júlio took place; the only confirmed meeting at the Planalto, on 12/4/2024 and outside the official agenda, reportedly dealt with the Master at the Central Bank. The author said that the PGR dismissed the attachment due to a lack of evidence of cash payments and that the same archived material mentioned payments to Davi Alcolumbre and members of the Judiciary. #Lula #Corrupção #PolíticaBrasileira (translated)

Alvis Hermanis announced that he has resigned from the position of leader of the party "We Change the Rules" and will henceforth remain a regular member. He acknowledged that he had not been able to convince the public of the need to change the rules, and therefore, in his opinion, the leadership should be entrusted to someone else, and the party members should decide on this matter. Hermanis recommended Jāzeps Baško for the leadership position, whom he described as an idealistic, smart, honest, persistent, and principled person. He urged other party members to support Baško. Hermanis also wrote that he would continue to implement the party's program but would start with himself and change his consciousness and habits. He expressed the view that it is not possible to transform the world, and pointed out that he would not give up on the goal but would try to achieve it differently. #partija #nākotne #izmaiņas (translated)

"Tas, kas šeit ir zīmīgi, ka "OpenAI" savos testos modelim lika iegūt datus. Un, kad tas sastapās ar šķēršļiem un nevarēja iegūt nepieciešamos datus, tas nolēma mēģināt izmantot ievainojamības.

Novak Djoković pogratulował naszemu trenerowi 10 medali na 10 imprezach… Zapytałem więc dziś czy N. Grbić może zaprosić Nole do Polski na jakiś mecz w trakcie MŚ - „spróbuję, bo się znamy”odparł nasz trener🙂 To teraz dolosować Serbię do naszej grupy i będzie kolejny argument :) #Tenis #Djokovic #MistrzostwaŚwiata

Diffido naturalmente di chi, non avendo più 16 anni ma 51- si presenta con la cresta ma in questo avvio di torneo mi chiedo come e perché al designatore arbitrale è stato consentito di non applicare il regolamento e ignorare il Var. E quando sento dire da #Orsato che il Var non deve intervenire su episodi “ già valutati dall’arbitro di campo” mi permetto di eccepire : “correggere gli errori dell’arbitro di campo” è il motivo per cui è nato il VAR volente o nolente il signor #Orsato, che certo non si porta dietro la fama di essere infallibile. Forse oggi non ce ne rendiamo conto, ma l’interpretazione del regolamento, unita alla mancata applicazione del protocollo var, non hanno migliorato le partite (la media dei falli è più o meno la stessa) : se il giuoco è più fluido il merito è solo delle nuove regole per infortuni e sostituzioni. Aggiungo che evitare di fischiare i contatti minimi non può significare che si giuoca meglio: i falli sono falli, e l’arbitro bravo deve sapere quando fischiare e quando no. Più avanti si entrerà nel vivo del campionato, con in ballo le coppe, lo scudetto e la zona retrocessione, e ce ne accorgeremo tutti. #VAR #calcio #arbitraggio
