Daniel Vorcaro is the former controller of Banco Master and has been imprisoned since March by order of STF Justice André Mendonça, on suspicion of attempting to obstruct investigations related to Banco Master.

Ex-dono do Banco Master teve mal-estar na Superintendência da Polícia Federal em Brasília; quadro foi considerado sem gravidade.

Daniel Vorcaro, ex-controlador do Banco Master, passou mal enquanto estava detido na Superintendência da Polícia Federal em Brasília, onde cumpre prisão desde março por ordem do ministro André Mendonça, do Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF) [1]. O atendimento médico foi realizado na própria unidade prisional, e exames indicaram que o quadro não era grave, descartando a necessidade de transferência hospitalar.

Vorcaro está preso no âmbito de investigações sobre supostas fraudes bilionárias envolvendo o Banco Master. A 2ª Turma do STF, em decisões recentes, manteve a prisão do empresário e de outros investigados [2]. Paralelamente, há negociações em andamento para um possível acordo de delação premiada.

O mal-estar ocorreu na segunda-feira (20 de abril), segundo relatos de aliados, que indicaram a possibilidade de Vorcaro realizar exames complementares em um hospital particular. A assessoria do STF não se pronunciou oficialmente sobre o episódio.
