Banco Master

Senator Davi Alcolumbre's bid for reelection to a Senate leadership post is struggling, with reporting from Diário do Poder saying his position has been worn down by his entanglement with banker Daniel Vorcaro. Vorcaro, head of Banco Master, has been at the center of controversy in Brazil, and Alcolumbre's association with him is said to be costing him support among senators ahead of the vote.
