The fight against white-collar crime has been pushed to the center of the **Brazilian election** debate after senior political figure Fernando Haddad publicly alleged that a rival candidate would shield a jailed banker at the core of a massive **financial scandal**. Haddad, the gubernatorial candidate for São Paulo and former Mayor, stated that if Senator **Flávio Bolsonaro** is elected, he would protect **Daniel Vorcaro**, the former owner of **Banco Master**, a bank whose collapse caused an estimated R$41 billion loss to the national Credit Guarantee Fund (FGC). Speaking at a campaign event, Haddad accused the Senator—the son of the former president—of working to protect the interests of Vorcaro, who is currently in a federal prison facing fraud and corruption charges.
