Federal Police (PF) investigators concluded last Tuesday (3) reports on the involvement of ministers of the Federal Supreme Court (STF) with former banker Daniel Vorcaro. There are three documents, with quotes from ministers Dias Toffoli, Alexandre de Moraes and Kassio Nunes Marques.
The information was initially published by journalist Malu Gaspar, from O Globo, and later confirmed by TV Globo.
The reports were requested from the PF by the president of the STF, Edson Fachin, on October 2nd.
On October 13, after meeting with the general director of the PF, Andrei Rodrigues, Fachin said that "all mentions found without exception" to Court ministers in the Master case should be forwarded to the STF and in a "strictly descriptive nature".
The documents bring together facts with signs of crime, some of which have not yet been publicly disclosed, but do not attribute responsibility to anyone. A possible investigation against a Court minister depends on the approval of the plenary.
Removal of delegates
The day after the reports were completed, on Wednesday (4), the delegates responsible for the Master case at the PF were removed from their roles in the general coordinator for the repression of corruption, financial crimes and money laundering: Daniel Cola and Wedson Cajé.
They were responsible for preparing the reports.
When contacted for the report, the PF denied that the reports were ready. The institution's general management also stated that the reports are still being prepared and that they will be delivered to the STF by the end of this month.
In a note, the PF also stated that it does not comment on personnel management acts and that exemptions from functions of trust in the corporation are management acts guided by criteria of administrative convenience and opportunity.
The PF also said that the functions of coordination leadership do not imply any change in the teams responsible for ongoing investigations in the directorate to combat organized crime and corruption, including those related to Compliance and Sem Desconto operations.
Quotes to ministers already revealed
Dias Toffoli, who became the rapporteur of the Master case at the STF, was mentioned in conversations found on Daniel Vorcaro's cell phone.
Toffoli is part of the board of partners of Maridt Participações, a family company run by the magistrate's brothers and which did business with a fund managed by the company Reag, linked to Banco Master.
In the case of Alexandre de Moraes, a PF report brought together messages and records of the minister's contacts with Daniel Vorcaro. Furthermore, the office of the minister's wife, Viviane Barci, maintained a contract with the financial institution.
The STF plenary met on October 15, in an extraordinary session, to judge the report that highlighted a link between Moraes and Vorcaro.
The trial, however, was suspended after a point of order was raised by ministers GIlmar Mendes and Flávio Dino, without the merits of the case, that is, whether or not to open an investigation into Moraes, being analyzed.
In relation to Kassio Nunes Marques, the PF found on Vorcaro's cell phone a service provision contract between Banco Master and a law firm.
If the office were successful in all legal actions, which totaled R$8.5 billion, the legal fees paid could reach R$427 million.
The office in question belongs to Camilla Ramos, wife of judge Newton Ramos, identified as being from the "KN class", in a reference to minister Kassio Nunes Marques' initials.
Messages exchanged by Vorcaro with Luiz Rennó, former legal director of Master, also mention alleged payments of R$500,000 per month to lawyer Kevin Marques, son of minister Nunes Marques.
The minister's name also came up in an exchange of messages about Vorcaro organizing a party for Nunes Marques with call girls.
