- News website The Intercept Brasil reported last week on the senator's ties to the banker, who was jailed for a second time in March, accused of bribing a former central bank director.
- Flavio Bolsonaro told a press conference on Tuesday the late 2025 meeting aimed to end negotiations, describing his relationship with Vorcaro as an agreement to finance a film about President Jair Bolsonaro.
- Polls show Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva opening a seven percentage point lead over the senator, shifting from previous surveys where the two candidates were virtually tied.
- Traders speculate the revelation could influence the presidential race as financial markets reel, while Banco Master was liquidated in November amid investigations into fraudulent loan portfolios.
