The Federal Police of Brazil is conducting an investigation into Daniel Vorcaro, owner of Banco Master, regarding the illegal acquisition of confidential data that was allegedly used in an article published by the website O Bastidor. According to journalist Malu Gaspar from O Globo, there is suspicion that Vorcaro orchestrated a hacking scheme that accessed sensitive systems of the Federal Police (PF) and the Attorney General’s Office (PGR), discovering an investigation surrounding the sale of credit portfolios from Banco Master to BRB. The investigation indicates that Vorcaro enlisted journalist Diego Escosteguy, the proprietor of O Bastidor, to 'heat up' the confidential information to use it in his defense against legal actions. References from this website article were subsequently used by Vorcaro's lawyers in a legal request to prevent his arrest, which had already been ordered by the authorities. Further evidence supporting the investigation includes messages found on a mobile device belonging to the former banker, suggesting that Escosteguy was compensated by Vorcaro for publishing articles. This situation highlights the serious implications of insider knowledge and the intersection of financial activities with legal accountability in Brazil.
