Why this matters

BRB removes former executives after Banco Master investigation

The Bank of Brasília (BRB) removed two former directors and three former superintendents suspected of involvement in irregularities in business dealings with Banco Master. Although they were removed from their positions at the end of last year, they continued working at branches because they are tenured civil servants, but now they also stop acting in these functions. The removal resulted from the opening of an administrative disciplinary proceeding (PAD) authorized by the Board of Directors three weeks ago. BRB bought R$ 21.9 billion in portfolios from Daniel Vorcaro's bank, with approximately R$ 12 billion showing signs of lack of backing and structural inconsistencies.
