The article reports that journalism defense organizations, including the Brazilian Association of Investigative Journalism (Abraji) and the National Association of Newspapers (ANJ), condemned journalist Malu Gaspar after she exposed financial scandals involving the now-defunct Banco Master. The organizations accused businessman Daniel Vorcaro, owner of Banco Master, and public relations professional Thiago Miranda of attempting to intimidate Gaspar by monitoring her personal life and threatening to disrupt her investigative work. The police identified messages showing Vorcaro tried to compromise Gaspar’s privacy through threats and offers of employment.
