Federal Operation Seizes R$ 200 Million Jet from Banco Master and Exposes Collection of Millionaire Planes. Check Values and Models.
The Federal Police (PF) seized one of the most sophisticated jets belonging to businessman Daniel Vorcaro, owner of Banco Master, during the operation Compliance Zero, carried out this week at Guarulhos Airport.
The banker, who was arrested on Monday (11/17/2025) while trying to leave the country, was about to board a flight to Malta when his plane was intercepted.
The seizure, according to the PF, is part of investigations into a large financial scheme that may have involved up to R$ 12 billion — and involves the sale of fake securities.

What draws attention, in addition to the arrest, is Vorcaro’s air assets: a fleet of intercontinental jets, individually valued between R$ 21 million and R$ 117 million, according to specialized websites.
One of them, the Falcon 7X used in the escape attempt, was valued at R$ 200 million by the PF itself.
The investigation indicates that the businessman, who controls ten companies registered with the Federal Revenue, used high-end aircraft for both business trips and frequent international travel.
At least three airplanes are registered in the name of Viking Participações LTDA., one of Vorcaro’s business arms.
Scheme Under Suspicion: Why the PF Targeted Banco Master
The operation Compliance Zero targets a scheme that, according to the Federal Police, involved the issuance of fake CDBs.
The securities were offered with the promise of yields up to 40% above the basic market rate, which, for experts, already indicated an unrealistic return.
These credit instruments are known as Certificates of Bank Deposit (CDBs), fixed-income investments where the client lends money to the bank and receives interest on the investment.
In the investigated case, the documents purportedly had no real backing, which would constitute large-scale financial fraud.
Meanwhile, Vorcaro maintained his luxurious lifestyle — supported by a fleet of jets valued in the hundreds of millions.
The Seizure of the Falcon 7X: The Jet Used in the Escape Attempt
The aircraft that took the banker to prison is a Dassault Falcon 7X, a model of extremely high performance and comfort. The jet, according to the PF, has:
Valuation of R$ 200 million;
Capacity for long trips;
Configuration that includes bed on board;
Tri-jet technology, which offers more safety and range.
The model is known for being able to cross continents non-stop. On the day of the arrest, Vorcaro was attempting to start an intercontinental journey to Europe.

Why Do Airplanes Vary So Much in Price?
The value of an executive jet depends on factors such as:
Age of the aircraft;
Maintenance history;
Internal configuration;
Additional systems;
Number of cycles (landings and takeoffs).
Thus, jets like Vorcaro’s can reach prices far higher than the commercial values disclosed by specialized websites, especially when they have exclusive adaptations.
