SAO PAULO, March 13 (Reuters) - The majority of a panel of Brazil's Supreme Court voted on Friday to keep the owner of liquidated lender Banco Master, Daniel Vorcaro, in jail.
The businessman was detained earlier this month after a judge cited "strong indication" that Vorcaro attempted to bribe a former central bank director with gifts in return for preferential treatment.
