Ailton de Aquino Santos participated in meetings between the then president of BRB, Paulo Henrique Costa; Daniel Vorcaro; and the president of the Central Bank, Gabiel Galípolo. At the meetings, the transaction involved the purchase of Master by Banco de Brasília (BRB).
The explanations given in the presence of the BC director were about formalities and how the bank would be composed, considering that there were plans to sell assets to other institutions.
BRB announced the plan to acquire control of Banco Master in March this year. However, the operation raised suspicions of risk. After several meetings, the Central Bank denied the purchase considering the lack of economic viability and risks.
