Messages Under PF Review Place Rodrigo Fux at a Lunch with Daniel Vorcaro in New York
The exchange cited by Folha de S.Paulo places the lawyer at a meeting held in May 2024 during activities linked to Brazil Week. Rodrigo Fux’s defense said he did not have lunch alone with the banker or share a table with him.
Messages from Daniel Vorcaro that are in the possession of the Federal Police show that the banker took part in a lunch on May 14, 2024, in New York with lawyer Rodrigo Fux, son of Supreme Federal Court Justice Luiz Fux, according to Folha de S.Paulo.
According to that report, when replying to an interlocutor about where he was, Vorcaro said he was “here with Fux.” The reference, always according to Folha de S.Paulo, was to Rodrigo Fux and not to his father. The lawyer was taking part in a series of activities related to Brazil Week, which are usually held at that time of year in New York.
The information handled by the Federal Police does not detail what was discussed at that meeting or at which restaurant it took place.
That same day, after the lunch, Rodrigo Fux took part in a whiskey tasting for about 40 people paid for by Vorcaro, a fact that, according to Folha de S.Paulo, had been revealed in June by columnist Igor Gadelha, of the Metrópoles portal.
According to Folha de S.Paulo, the ties between Rodrigo Fux and Vorcaro have been cited by allies of Justice Alexandre de Moraes to ask that Luiz Fux not take part in the session scheduled for this Tuesday the 15th, in which the crisis within the court will be discussed.
That agenda includes the possible opening of an investigation into the messages exchanged between Moraes and the banker.
Folha de S.Paulo also recalled that the contacts between Rodrigo Fux and Vorcaro were not limited to New York. According to a report by columnist Mônica Bergamo cited by that newspaper, the lawyer was invited to the banker’s box at Marquês de Sapucaí, in Rio de Janeiro, in 2025.
Through his press office, Rodrigo Fux said he never had lunch alone with Daniel Vorcaro. He also said that on that occasion, in May 2024, there were “countless people” and that he did not even sit at the same table as Vorcaro.
According to that same account, after that lunch he was invited to the whiskey tasting, where he remained a little more than an hour and left without having contact with the banker. When contacted by Folha de S.Paulo, Luiz Fux did not comment.
