Brazil’s Federal Police has completed three reports concerning contacts between former Banco Master controller Daniel Vorcaro and Supreme Federal Court justices Alexandre de Moraes, Kassio Nunes Marques and Dias Toffoli. The documents were requested by Chief Justice Edson Fachin and are awaiting formal delivery by Federal Police director-general Andrei Rodrigues.¹

Accounts from both the Brazil Right and Brazil Left present the reports as a factual review rather than a criminal accusation. The left-leaning account says the technical team was instructed to focus on facts that could have criminal relevance, but that the material contains “no value judgment or imputation of a crime.”² The right-leaning account similarly says Fachin required references to the justices to be contextualized and made in a “strictly descriptive” manner.¹

The two accounts also broadly agree on the matters examined. They cite contracts involving the law office of Moraes’s wife, Viviane Barci, including a three-year services agreement valued at 131 million reais and an arrangement involving shares in Vorcaro’s aircraft. They also describe communications involving people linked to Nunes Marques, as well as travel and expense allegations that the reports review. In Toffoli’s case, the material addresses judicial decisions relevant to Vorcaro and an investment in the Tayaya Resort, associated with the justice’s family.²

Where the emphasis differs is in scope. The right-leaning report foregrounds the specific financial and travel details gathered by investigators, while the left-leaning account stresses the procedural safeguards set by Fachin and the institutional effort to centralize the inquiry. Both say no comparable reports were prepared concerning Gilmar Mendes, André Mendonça and Luiz Fux because investigators found no factual elements warranting them.¹

Fachin’s stated position, cited in both accounts, is that any relevant fact should be examined “without exception of any kind,” while observing due process and judicial guarantees.²
