Sérgio Moro: The owner of Banco Master had preventive detention ordered by Minister André Mendonça, who has done great work at the STF (Supreme Federal Tribunal) and made a courageous decision.
Sérgio Moro: I confess that when I read the terms of the decision I was surprised, because I have always understood and argued in the past that Daniel Vorcaro should already be imprisoned.
After all, there are evidentiary elements still being investigated indicating that he would be responsible for a financial fraud of more than R$40 billion, and that's speaking only of the loss caused to the guarantee fund.
Sérgio Moro: I do not recall a loss so large for the National Financial System, even in previous shortfalls and the liquidations of financial institutions.
Sérgio Moro: However, evidence also emerged, back then, that he had paid social media influencers to carry out a coordinated attack on the Central Bank so that the institutions would not be able to operate and do their work regarding the intervention and liquidation at Banco Master.
