Felipe Cançado Vorcaro, cousin of banker Daniel Vorcaro, faces arrest warrant in Operation Compliance ZeroFelipe Cançado Vorcaro, cousin of banker Daniel Vorcaro, is the target of an arrest warrant issued by Brazil's Supreme Federal Court (STF) as part of Operation Compliance Zero. The Federal Police identify him as a central figure in the financial and operational core under investigation, responsible for executing financial transactions, structuring corporate operations, and facilitating transfers linked to the investigated group.
The investigation involves the sale of 30% of Green Investimentos to the company CNLF, linked to the brother of Senator Ciro Nogueira, for R$1 million despite a market estimate of around R$13 million. The investigation also cites monthly payments in the so-called 'BRGD/CNLF partnership,' which allegedly started at around R$300,000 and reached R$500,000 per month.
Additionally, the use of private instruments outside formal partnership contracts, described as 'drawer contracts,' is highlighted. Felipe Vorcaro, then president of Green Investimentos, is identified as responsible for operationalizing these structures.
A detailed episode occurred during the execution of a search and seizure warrant in the second phase of the operation in January of this year. Felipe left a residence in the Terravista condominium in Trancoso, Bahia, just minutes before the arrival of agents, in a golf cart.
Based on these elements, Minister André Mendonça ordered the temporary arrest of Felipe Cançado Vorcaro for five days. The decision also determined measures against companies linked to the investigated core, including the suspension of activities of Green Investimentos S.A. and BRGD S.A.
