Suspicion of Leaks
Agents of the Federal Police have begun to suspect that there may be an information leak within Operation Compliance Zero. The operation investigates the owner of Banco Master, Daniel Vorcaro, regarding an alleged financial fraud scheme.
The second phase of the operation was launched on the morning of Wednesday, January 14. Investigators started analyzing the possibility of a leak due to a striking pattern observed during the raids. The timing of the arrests suggests that targets were warned in advance.
The Dubai Pattern 🛫
The suspicion of a leak stems from the arrest of Fabiano Campos Zettel, the brother-in-law of Vorcaro. Zettel was apprehended at Guarulhos Airport, already prepared to travel to Dubai. This occurred on the eve of the Federal Police's action on Wednesday.
This incident is not isolated. It replicates a scenario that occurred during the first phase of the investigation. During that initial wave of actions, Daniel Vorcaro himself was found at Guarulhos Airport, ready to fly to Dubai just before the operation was triggered.
Another target, Nelson Tanure, was also encountered at Rio de Janeiro's Galeão Airport. He was the subject of search and seizure warrants issued during this second phase.
Scope of the Raids
The second phase of Operation Compliance Zero is expanding the scope of the investigation. Federal agents are conducting searches at addresses linked to Vorcaro and his relatives. The operation targets a broader circle of the suspect's family.
In addition to the brother-in-law, the warrants include searches at properties belonging to:
- Daniel Vorcaro's father
- The suspect's sister
- Close associates of the Banco Master owner
The operation aims to gather evidence regarding the alleged fraud scheme involving the financial institution.
Investigative Implications
The repeated attempts by high-value targets to flee the country immediately preceding police actions raise serious questions about operational security. The Federal Police must now investigate how sensitive information regarding the timing of raids is reaching the suspects.
The focus of the investigation remains on the alleged financial crimes committed by the owner of Banco Master. However, the integrity of the investigation itself has become a secondary, critical front for the authorities.
Looking Ahead
As Operation Compliance Zero continues, the Federal Police face the dual challenge of prosecuting financial crimes while securing their own investigation. The discovery of a leak, if confirmed, could significantly alter the course of the proceedings against Daniel Vorcaro and his associates.
Authorities are expected to intensify security protocols to prevent further information breaches. The focus remains on dismantling the alleged fraud scheme at Banco Master and ensuring that justice is served without further interference.
