Messages recovered by Brazil’s Federal Police from Daniel Vorcaro’s cellphone point to at least six meetings between the former banker and Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes.

The first meetings were arranged by Fábio Faria, who served as communications minister under Jair Bolsonaro. According to the messages, the first gathering took place on February 2, 2024, at Faria’s home, at Moraes’s request. The wives of all three men were expected to attend the dinner.

The exchanges describe further contact. On July 17, 2024, Faria sent Vorcaro the message “Careca 19:30.” On November 5, Vorcaro told his daughter that he was with Moraes. In February 2025, a driver informed Vorcaro that “Minister Alexandre has arrived.”

I’m with Moraes here lol.

The messages also show Vorcaro telling people around him that he was with Moraes. On March 19, 2025, he wrote to his girlfriend, Martha Graeff, and then-Central Bank director Paulo Sérgio: “I’m with Moraes here lol.” A Federal Police report said the exchange suggested that meeting continued into the following morning.

The following month, Vorcaro told Graeff he was going to meet Alexandre “near home.” The exchange appeared to place the two men in Campos do Jordão, where Vorcaro wrote: “He’s spending the holiday.”
