Alckmin and Haddad target Campos Neto's connections to Master case in Paulista avenue rally

The mention of Roberto Campos Neto's name, former president of the Central Bank, in newly revealed testimonies from civil servants in the inquiry into Banco Master, has encouraged allies of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) to try to link the economist appointed to the position by Jair Bolsonaro (PL) with the scandal starring former banker Daniel Vorcaro. At a rally held this Sunday on Paulista avenue in São Paulo (SP), Fernando Haddad (PT), former president of the Central Bank, mentioned Campos Neto in a statement calling for deepening investigations. Geraldo Alckmin (PSB), vice president candidate running for reelection, joined in. "Banco Master was created under the Bolsonaro government, Vorcaro became a banker under the Bolsonaro government, and it was under our government that Banco Master was shut down due to robbery and corruption, with Vorcaro being arrested. That is the fact," Alckmin told journalists. "Now it is up to the Judiciary to deepen the investigations." Lula's allies assess that the candidacy of Flavio Bolsonaro to the Senate for the PL in Rio de Janeiro may be harmed by the scandal.
