According to the document, the office would receive a monthly remuneration of BRL 3.6 million over three years. As signed on January 16, 2024, if it had been fully respected, it would have brought Barci de Moraes Associados 129 million reais at the beginning of 2027 – the year in which the minister will assume the presidency of the STF, under the court rotation system.

With the liquidation of the Master, the payments were interrupted, but if they were honored until October 2025, the last month before the intervention of the BC, they generated revenues of R$79 million for Barci de Moraes. The minister’s two sons also work in the office.

The purpose of the contract is “the organization and coordination of five areas of joint and complementary action – strategic, consultative and contentious – before the Justice, the Public Prosecutor’s Office, the Judicial Police (in other words, the Federal police), Executive bodies (Central Bank, Federal Revenue, PGFN (Attorney General of the National Treasury, Cade (competition protection agency) and legislative (monitoring of projects of interest to the contractor)”.

The blog team has consulted the Central Bank, Federal Revenue, PGFN and Cade regarding any request, request or petition from the office on behalf of the Master. None of them responded.

From what we have discovered, Viviane did not participate in any meetings regarding BRB’s takeover of Master from Cade, who approved the deal before settlement. Barci de Moraes is also not included in the negotiation process within the body, where the Master’s defendant is Pinheiro Neto.

As published by columnist Lauro Jardim, the contract was seized as part of Operation Compliance Zero, which allowed the arrest of Vorcaro and six other executives linked to the affair.

Even before the details were published on the blog, this Tuesday (8), the fear that they would be revealed was already causing tension among the lawyers involved in the case, not only for having denounced Moraes but also because, as it was on Vorcaro’s cell phone, the document could also have ended up in the hands of other managers and former employees of the bank.

With the revelation of the contractual conditions, began monitoring of this document and others that could be stored on the device, under analysis by the Master’s liquidator, or even in the possession of consulting firms that carried out due diligence on the bank in 2025.

The column team contacted Barci de Moraes and Master to find out what causes the office was working on and how much had been paid, but received no feedback. We also searched for Minister Alexandre de Moraes, via the STF press service, but he did not respond. The space is open.

One of the processes in which Viviane intervened is a criminal complaint filed in April 2024 by Vorcaro and Master against investor Vladimir Timmerman, of Esh Capital, who has an old dispute with businessman Nelson Tanure, shareholder of Gafisa.

In the criminal complaint, Timmerman is accused of defaming the banker, described as a “40-year-old renowned businessman from Minas Gerais,” who Timmerman said “participated in and/or carried out fraudulent transactions between GAFISA and the Brazil Realty Fund” – of which, according to the investor, Master was a shareholder.

The lawyers’ argument is that Timerman intended to “criminally harm the honor” of Vorcaro and the Master. It also says he “publicly discredited and compromised the qualities of the plaintiffs that make them worthy of respect in civil society.”
