Vorcaro says he met with Ibaneis the week before BC vetoed Master’s purchase by BRB

Daniel Vorcaro, owner of Banco Master, claims to have met with DF Governor Ibaneis Rocha to strategize on the negotiation for the BRB's acquisition of Banco Master, contradicting Rocha's previous statements on the matter.

Daniel Vorcaro, the owner of Banco Master, has revealed that he met with the Governor of the Federal District, Ibaneis Rocha, on August 29 of last year while the BRB (Banco Regional de Brasília) was in talks to acquire Banco Master. Vorcaro mentioned to his fiancée, Martha Graeff, that the purpose of their meeting was to devise a 'war strategy' regarding the ongoing negotiations, indicating a proactive approach in the face of the acquisition attempts.

These claims are documented in notes acquired by the mixed Parliamentary Committee of Inquiry related to the National Institute of Social Security (INSS). Vorcaro's assertions stand in stark contrast to Governor Rocha's account of their interactions, in which he claimed there were four meetings where substantive discussions did not occur, describing these as occasions where he 'entered silent and exited silent'. Rocha firmly stated that the BRB's acquisition of Banco Master was never discussed during any of their meetings.

This disagreement raises questions about the transparency and legality of the negotiations surrounding the acquisition of Banco Master. It emphasizes the scrutiny under which such transactions are placed, particularly with the involvement of high-profile political figures like Governor Rocha. As the CPI continues its investigation, the discrepancies between Vorcaro and Rocha could have significant implications not only for the parties involved but also for public trust in financial governance.
