Leo Kasura stated that the president of the TSE suspended a PT advertisement that, according to him, associated Flávio and Alfredo Gaspar with scandals. Kasura said that the piece linked Gaspar to an accusation of rape from which he had already been acquitted and tried to relate Flávio to corruption in the Master case, which the author attributed to the PT of Bahia. He also claimed that the PT was trying to distance itself from a bribe from Vorcaro intended for Lula's film. #Justiça #Política #Brasil (translated)

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.

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)

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)

Eduardo Bolsonaro stated that R$ 30 million would have been just the initial payment of bribes to Lula's supporters. According to him, Vorcaro said he had been approached by politicians and intermediaries before meeting with Júlio, whom Bolsonaro identified as the "02 of MS" of Padilha, and with Olavo Onoleto, who would also be close to Padilha. Bolsonaro wrote that, after two meetings, Padilha would have given Vorcaro access to state pension funds through authorized representatives in exchange for a 10% commission on the amounts raised. He estimated that this amount would reach billions. #PolíticaBrasil #Corrupção #Lula (translated)

Eduardo Bolsonaro stated that he was perplexed by what he described as an extortion by Lula involving Vorcaro. He alleged that the president had asked for R$ 30 million in bribes, not for the film, but for people connected to the Lula Institute, and claimed that the mediation would have involved names such as the Minister of Health, Alexandre Padilha. https://t.co/lci8p4BYfI #Lula #Corrupção #Política (translated)

Leandro Ruschel stated that the annulment of convictions in the Lava Jato operation and what he referred to as the state of exception created by the regime to suppress the right would have also enriched those responsible for the repression and delayed the "cleaning of the country" by at least ten years. He said that people who, according to him, had been caught looting the country reappeared in Vorcaro's plea bargain and claimed they should be in prison, not negotiating bribes again. #LavaJato #Corrupção #Justiça (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)

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)

Flávio Gordon summarized an article from Veja stating that Vorcaro allegedly negotiated payments with Vaccari to gain access to pension funds of federal employees controlled by the PT. Gordon claimed that Vorcaro would have paid a bribe to the party in exchange for access to the pension funds of state-owned companies, which, according to him, would be equivalent to taking money from retirees. He also questioned whether Flávia Oliveira would show concern for retirees. #Corrupção #Petismo #Aposentados (translated)
