Judge says Vorcaro's fragmented stock purchase in BRB sought to 'hinder traceability'
A judge claims the method used by Daniel Vorcaro to purchase stocks in the Bank of Brasília was intended to obscure the source of funds.
The judge from the 13th Civil Court of Brasília, Vanessa Maria Trevisan, accused Daniel Vorcaro, the owner of Master, and his associates of using a suspicious method to acquire shares in the Bank of Brasília (BRB). This method involved a fragmented purchase of stocks, where the acquisition is spread among multiple individual and corporate registries, making it difficult to track.
This revelation about Vorcaro and his associates, including former Master partner Maurício Quadrado and João Carlos Mansur from Reag Investimentos, surfaced in Brazilian media, suggesting that they acquired BRB shares under different personal and corporate identities on February 3. The judge explicitly noted that this strategy aimed to evade scrutiny and hinder the ability of authorities to trace the origins and legitimacy of the funds used in the transactions.
The implications of this situation are significant, as the fragmented buying strategy raises concerns about possible financial misconduct and the integrity of financial markets in Brazil. The case draws attention to the broader context of regulatory oversight and accountability in the financial sector, especially concerning high-profile individuals and their investment activities.
