The law firm Barci de Moraes, run by the wife of Minister Alexandre de Moraes, clarified the hiring of services by imprisoned banker Daniel Vorcaro, stating it never handled any cases for Banco Master at the Supreme Court.
The law firm Barci de Moraes, led by Viviane Barci de Moraes, wife of Brazilian Supreme Court Minister Alexandre de Moraes, issued a statement detailing the nature of their services for imprisoned banker Daniel Vorcaro, owner of Banco Master. The firm clarified that it was contracted to provide legal consultancy from February 2024 to November 2025, involving a team of 15 lawyers and coordination with three other specialized law firms.
In the statement, Barci de Moraes emphasized that they have 'never conducted any case for Banco Master at the Supreme Federal Court (STF)', aiming to dispel any insinuations regarding conflicts of interest given the ministra's prominent judicial role. The clarification appears to navigate potential allegations of impropriety between Vorcaro’s banking enterprises and the judicial actions led by Alexandre de Moraes at the STF.
This development highlights ongoing issues concerning the intersection of legal practices and politics in Brazil. Given the high-profile status of the parties involved, particularly the minister’s position on the Supreme Court during a sensitive financial and legal period, this clarification aims to uphold the integrity of both the firm and the minister's office amidst public scrutiny and speculation.
