Key details
FRBS Participações S.A., the corporate entity owning the Forbes brand in Brazil, has surfaced as a key asset within an investment fund under federal investigation in the ongoing Master case involving banker Daniel Vorcaro. The Eagle Eye Investments fund, reportedly holding over R$ 113.7 million in shares of FRBS—accounting for more than 90% of its net assets—has attracted scrutiny from Brazilian Federal Police due to suspected connections to money laundering and fraud. This fund is among more than 30 under the umbrella of Astralo 95, all subjects of investigation since the Compliance Zero operation began in November 2025.
Eagle Eye was managed by Reag Investimentos, currently in liquidation amid money laundering allegations. Notably, discrepancies have emerged in documents filed with the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM), which claim Eagle Eye’s substantial ownership of FRBS shares. Katarina Camarotti, executive director and daughter of FRBS owner Antonio Camarotti, refutes these claims, denying any corporate ties to Vorcaro and asserting exclusive family ownership of FRBS. She also disavows knowledge of certain CVM registrations, highlighting irregularities in the fund’s financial statements, including a questionable R$ 100 million convertible loan.
Parallel to these investigations, the Procuradoria-Geral da República (PGR) rejected a plea bargain from Daniel Vorcaro due to a lack of new evidence and absence of concrete asset recovery mechanisms. The PGR dismissed claims previously attributed to Vorcaro about the possibility of returning R$ 60 billion, clarifying no such discussions have occurred. The PGR and the Federal Police view Vorcaro’s repeated collaboration attempts as tactics to prolong negotiations amid potential political shifts.
This rejection narrows Vorcaro’s options for future plea negotiations, emphasizing the need for substantive evidence and clear restitution proposals. Meanwhile, the Eagle Eye fund’s role in holding FRBS assets deepens the investigation into possible financial crimes tied to the Master case, highlighting complex layers of corporate and financial entanglements under judicial examination in Brazil.
