Pri stated that Júlio Cezar, whom she described as the bribe operator of Alexandre Padilha's group in the Palácio do Planalto and a consultant in Goiânia, promised Daniel Vorcaro to bring the owner of Banco Master closer to Banco do Brasil. According to her, the two exchanged more than 450 messages and made 180 calls to discuss a plan to raise R$ 10 billion from funds like Previ, Petros, and Postalis through Master papers. Pri said that the plan included R$ 1 billion in bribes for members of the PT, including Vaccari, and that Vorcaro paid R$ 30 million for a film about Lula and made advance payments for bribes. She also claimed that there was intense lobbying. #Corrupção #Política #Brasil (translated)

Xico Graziano stated that a report by the magazine VEJA about supposed payments linked to Lula had provoked a reaction within the PT. According to him, PT members denied the accusations, said there was no evidence, and echoed a contestation from the Federal Police. In summarizing the report, Graziano said that banker Vorcaro reported having negotiated with João Vaccari Neto, former treasurer of the PT, payments to obtain access to pension funds for federal employees. According to the excerpt of the article he shared, it would amount to R$ 30 million in cash destined for the Lula Institute to fund a documentary about Lula abroad, in addition to another undisclosed amount paid directly to the institute, managed by Paulo Okamotto. Graziano added that Vorcaro had provided details to the Attorney General's Office (PGR), which did not proceed with the case as it deemed there was insufficient evidence. The banker’s defense, according to the account reproduced by the author, mentioned WhatsApp messages and records of withdrawals and deliveries of money. Graziano expressed belief that VEJA would not publish the report without confidence in the material and assessed that the published piece would merely be a preview of new revelations. He considered the story credible, although there might not be definitive proof, and compared the case to the Atibaia site, which, according to him, was not registered in Lula's name in the registry office. In Graziano's view, the report would harm the PT and Lula's campaign, discouraging voters and causing some to give up on voting. He stated that the case would reduce Lula's chances of reversing a defeat in the first round. #Lula #Petismo #VEJA (translated)

Felipe Moura Brasil shared the transcription of a reporter from Veja who defended a report amid the reactions to the publication of a recording. The journalist stated that, in addition to the audio, the article was based on messages found on Daniel Vorcaro's cell phone before he formalized a plea deal proposal. According to the reporter, Vorcaro had already presented a third proposal to the PGR, but the agency did not want to listen to him. In the transcription, the reporter claimed that messages from 2024 and 2025 indicated that Vorcaro had intermediaries at the Palácio do Planalto who were working with executives from the pension funds of Banco do Brasil, Caixa Econômica, Petrobras, and Correios. He asserted that the objective was to raise 10 billion reais from these funds, with 1 billion reais earmarked for bribes to the PT, as part of an agreement to save Banco Master. He also said that an operator linked to the office of Minister Alexandre Padilha sought fund executives and that meetings had been organized to facilitate the bank's operations. The reporter further stated that, in May 2024, Banco Master entered the so-called "exhaustive list," which, according to him, allowed the funds to invest in the institution. At the same time, he said, the bank was negotiating credit letters worth 500 million reais with Caixa Econômica. According to the journalist, the operation did not progress after the newspaper O Globo reported, in July 2024, that two managers from Caixa had been removed for issuing a negative opinion. He added that Vorcaro had reported, in a plea deal proposal to which the report had access, that Padilha and other PT members backed down after the case was disclosed. #Lula #Corrupção #Política (translated)

Leandro Ruschel stated that there was a difference between a banker’s defense of not confirming information and denying it. He questioned why, if the information was false, as the Workers' Party members claimed, the lawyers had not declared that. Based on a report by Caio Junqueira, Ruschel also highlighted that the lawyers stated that the preliminary material from a collaboration had been made available to a restricted group of authorities subject to a legal duty of confidentiality. For him, this statement suggested that the material existed. #justiça #direito #corrupção (translated)

She also mentioned a documentary about Lula, resources allegedly paid by Vorcaro, and messages from Roberta Luchsinger about seeking sponsorship from Workers' Party governments, which she associated with public money. Pri questioned why the investigation was focused on *Dark Horse* and asked what would happen to the film about Lula. #Lula #DarkHorse #investigação (translated)

Leandro Ruschel shared the account of a reporter from Veja about alleged dealings of Banco Master with members of the PT and fund managers. According to the material cited by the journalist, Daniel Vorcaro's partner contacted Jaques Wagner, then leader of Lula's government in the Senate, to arrange a meeting with João Vaccari Neto, the party's former treasurer. After the meeting, the reporter stated, the bank would have organized fundraising with funds whose presidents had been appointed by Vaccari and by names from the PT and appointed or endorsed by Lula. The account indicated that, near the end of the first semester of 2024, Banco Master obtained authorization from the federal government to operate and raise funds from the funds. Vorcaro would have reached out to operators linked to members of the government, including Alexandre Padilha, then Minister of Institutional Relations, with the goal of raising R$ 10 billion from the funds. In exchange, he allegedly agreed to pay the PT 10% of the total raised, according to the reporter. According to the account, Vaccari demanded R$ 30 million in cash from Augusto Lima to finance a documentary about Lula that Oliver Stone was producing in the United States. Vorcaro reportedly said that the money was delivered through messengers and PT operators. The reporter also stated that Vorcaro mentioned payments to the Instituto Lula, coordinated with Paulo Okamotto, a friend of the president and manager of the institution. #Política #Corrupção #Lula (translated)

Leandro Ruschel stated that Rachadones should have his mandate revoked and accused him of committing mass slander and defamation, as, according to him, the left accuses the right of doing. Ruschel added that if Rachadones were from the right and had done 10% of what he has done in recent years, he would already be in prison. #Rachadinha #Justiça #Politics (translated)

Carlos Jordy stated that Vorcaro would have revealed the payment of bribes to the PT so that the government would direct pension fund resources to Banco Master. According to Jordy, the banker claimed to have allocated R$ 30 million in cash to members of the PT and the Lula Institute to finance a film about the president. Jordy added that, according to investigations, the payments were documented, but the PGR refused to investigate. #Corrupção #PT #LavaJato (translated)

Pedro Menin assessed that an interview with Vorcaro to Globo could harm Lula and benefit Flávio. He called Vorcaro a criminal but also intelligent and speculated that he could blame members of the Workers' Party and say that Flávio's money was intended solely for a film. Menin also suggested that Vorcaro might align himself with the right to gain future advantages in trials. In Menin's view, supporting Lula would be a poor strategy among evangelicals, a group that, according to him, had a 70% rejection rate of the president—a percentage that could reach 90% after the leak of old tweets attributed to Ana Elisa, the PT's coordinator, about churches and believers. He stated that Vorcaro and his brother-in-law were pastors and speculated that they could turn to the church's power if their businesses did not succeed. Menin said that an attempt to prevent the interview could be seen as censorship and could lead to a 65 to 35 defeat for Lula in the second round. He also predicted that a victory for Flávio could initiate an impeachment process against Moraes and trigger a historic rise in the stock market in the following months. He noted that the text was merely a guess, that he had no non-public information, and that he could be very wrong. #Brasil #Política #Eleições2024 (translated)

Angel stated that the people he referred to in a derogatory way had already repeated the accusation that the Workers' Party members were responsible, comparing it to the repetition of statements by Bolsonaro supporters about January 8 and the destruction that occurred, prior to the calls for amnesty.
