Brazil police target executive linked to Banco Master’s communication efforts
Police say Thiago Miranda hired influencers to defend Banco Master and criticize the central bank, while investigators seized devices and records.
- On Thursday, Brazil's Federal Police launched an operation targeting executive Thiago Miranda, who was hired by banker Daniel Vorcaro to run a communications campaign defending the now-defunct Banco Master, a court ruling showed.
- Vorcaro was arrested in March after Brazil's central bank liquidated the lender last year due to a liquidity crisis; Miranda had previously provided information to officials as a witness regarding Vorcaro's past attempts to defend the lender.
- Supreme Court Justice Andre Mendonca authorized the seizure of electronic devices and documents at addresses linked to Miranda, as evidence suggests the executive hired influencers to attack the central bank and monitored targets including Itau CEO Milton Maluhy Filho.
- Messages exchanged between Miranda and Vorcaro led investigators to conclude the executive was responsible for gathering information on specific targets, shifting his status from witness to target in the probe.
- The latest phase of the Master probe exposes a network of influence and undercuts trust in public officials, though Miranda could not be reached for comment by Reuters nor could his legal representatives be identified.
