Brazil's Federal Police suspect that banker Vorcaro attempted to influence a vote by Supreme Court Justice Dias Toffoli, according to Poder360. The outlet reported the suspicion on Friday, September 11, 2026.
The reporting is tied to a broader set of claims about a fund connected to Toffoli. Revista piauí reported that the justice would be the beneficiary of a fund that received R$ 35 million from Vorcaro, a detail carried by Jovem Pan. Terra reported that the Federal Police suspect Toffoli may hold money from Vorcaro in a tax haven, citing the magazine.
Separately, Poder360 reported that Toffoli directed the Central Bank to disregard rulings from other instances concerning Banco Master.
Taken together, the reports describe overlapping threads: a justice, a banker, and a fund. The Federal Police's suspicion about attempted influence over a vote is the central allegation reported by Poder360. The fund and tax haven claims originate with revista piauí and were relayed by Jovem Pan and Terra. None of the outlets' underlying evidence is detailed in the material available here.
The Supreme Court and Toffoli have not issued responses in the reporting summarized above. Vorcaro's representatives likewise are not quoted in that material.
What to watch next: whether the Federal Police formalize any findings, and whether Toffoli or Vorcaro respond publicly to the reported allegations.
