The defense of Henrique Vorcaro, father of former banker Daniel Vorcaro, filed a new request for release with the Supreme Federal Court on Tuesday (3), g1 reported. The case will be reviewed by the Court's president, Edson Fachin.
The lawyers ask for revocation of the pretrial detention or its conversion to house arrest for health reasons. They attached a medical report dated October 28 that points to recurrent episodes of acute diverticulitis, with hospitalizations, and a recommendation for colon surgery.
The defense also says the legal obligation to review the need for pretrial detention every 90 days is not being met.
Henrique Vorcaro was arrested on May 14, 2026, on suspicion of being part of the alleged coercion and intimidation core tied to the Master case investigations, and has been held for more than 170 days. The investigations concern intimidation, obtaining confidential information and system intrusion, allegedly carried out by the group "A Turma," the target of Operation Compliance Zero.
According to g1, he allegedly became responsible for financing the group after his son's arrest. In September, the defense had already questioned the STF's jurisdiction to handle the proceedings concerning him.
