According to documents obtained by Folha de S.Paulo, Daniel Vorcaro of Banco Master allegedly ordered international yellow fever vaccination certificates with retroactively applied dates from Luiz Phillipi Machado de Moraes Mourão, a man identified by the Federal Police as the head of the former banker’s private militia. The text messages show the digital arrangements were made on December 12, 2024, less than a year prior to Vorcaro’s initial arrest in November 2025 during the Master financial scandal.
Encrypted Messages Detail Retroactive Vaccine Orders
The conversation regarding the fraudulent health records took place between 8:57 AM and 1:30 PM on December 12, 2024. According to records cited by Folha, Vorcaro initiated the exchange by sending an existing vaccination certificate at 8:57 AM with the instruction, “Precisa do tirar dois certificados desses” (You need to pull two of these certificates).
By midday, Mourão—known widely by the alias “Sicário”—relayed a message from an unidentified intermediary asking if the user wanted the records inserted directly into the official system. Sicário then requested the target’s personal information, writing, “CPF dela. Só está precisando disto. Te envio agora tudo pronto e resolvido” (Her CPF. That’s all that’s needed. I’ll send you everything ready and resolved right now).
Did you know? Federal Police arrested Luiz Phillipi Machado de Moraes Mourão in March during the third phase of Operation Compliance Zero, ordered by Supreme Court (STF) Minister André Mendonça. Mourão later died by suicide while held in a Federal Police jail cell in Minas Gerais.
Personal Data of Actress Monique Alfradique Involved
During the encrypted exchange, Vorcaro forwarded the full name, CPF, and date of birth of Brazilian actress Monique Alfradique. By 1:25 PM, Sicário sent back completed digital files, informing Vorcaro that he had backdated the application to April 9, 2024.
Mourão messaged that the data was processing through the National Health Data Network (RNDS)—the system responsible for generating official PDF outputs—while providing direct links to the federal government’s Meu SUS Digital portal. It remains unclear from the investigative records whether Alfradique had any knowledge of Vorcaro’s request.
When contacted by reporters, Alfradique’s press office stated that “as duas doses da vacina contra a febre amarela ministradas em Monique Alfradique ocorreram de forma absolutamente regular, nos postos de saúde devidamente credenciados, em observância aos protocolos oficiais” (the two doses of the yellow fever vaccine administered to Monique Alfradique occurred in an absolutely regular manner, at duly accredited health posts, in observance of official protocols). Her representatives added that her most recent immunization took place on April 22, 2024, at Fiocruz.
Ministry of Health Response and Official Protocols
Official vaccinations administered through Brazil’s Unified Health System (SUS) are recorded by primary care health workers on standardized logs containing the administrator’s name, batch details, and product manufacturer before uploading to Ministry of Health databases. When questioned regarding the data entries, the Ministry of Health stated that SUS registry systems utilize security, access control, and traceability mechanisms designed to protect data integrity, adding that no compromises to these safeguards have been detected. The ministry also noted that under the General Data Protection Law (LGPD), health metrics are classified strictly as personal data.
This development follows earlier disclosures from June, when Folha revealed that Federal Police uncovered phone records in which Vorcaro allegedly ordered Sicário to “moer” (grind) an employee working for Alfradique. Congressional inquiry documents sent to the INSS Parliamentary Inquiry Commission also showed an associate of the actress saved in the former banker’s contacts under the label “Alan TI”. Meanwhile, legal counsel for Daniel Vorcaro declined to comment on the vaccination certificate allegations.
Precedents of High-Profile Vaccine Investigation in Brazil
The allegations against Vorcaro echo past high-profile document investigations involving federal figures. Former president Jair Bolsonaro faced a Federal Police investigation regarding suspected falsification of a Covid-19 vaccination certificate, which allegedly involved inserting false data to indicate an immunization occurred in Duque de Caxias. Although the Federal Police indicted the former president in 2024, the Prosecutor General’s Office (PGR) requested the case’s dismissal last year, citing a lack of definitive liability elements.
