Maridt Participações, a company owned by Brazilian Supreme Court Minister Dias Toffoli, has hired Guilherme Lippi, who has been a partner since 2014 in the law firm of Walfrido Warde. Warde is notable for his role in the defense team of Daniel Vorcaro, the owner of Banco Master, since 2017. Lippi's involvement with Maridt is documented in official filings to the São Paulo Commercial Registry, as the company was involved as a partner in the Arleen fund, which is related to the Banco Master chain.

The hiring of Lippi not only strengthens the perceived connection between Toffoli and Vorcaro, but also raises important questions about the ethical implications of such associations, especially in the context of a Supreme Court minister. Warde, the defense attorney for Vorcaro, had also previously employed Roberta Rangel, who is Toffoli's wife, adding another layer of complexity to the situation. This situation may lead to public and judicial scrutiny regarding potential conflicts of interest, as the ties to a significant financial entity like Banco Master could clash with Toffoli’s judicial responsibilities.

This event highlights the intricate web of legal and interpersonal connections that can exist within the Brazilian judiciary and corporate landscape. The implications are significant not only for the individuals involved but also for public perceptions of the integrity of the judicial system in Brazil. As discussions about ethics in governance and law continue, this case may fuel calls for clearer regulations to prevent conflicts of interest among high-ranking public officials and their private business dealings.
