The MPT (Public Ministry of Labor) opened an investigation against Caixa Econômica Federal this Wednesday (18) to investigate what they took against the purchase of R$500 million in financial bills from the extinct bank in 2024.
Leonardo Silva, Mariangela Fraga and Daniel Gracio were investment fund managers at Caixa Asset, Caixa’s investment arm. They took a stand against the deal with Master on July 5, 2024. Three days later, on July 8, they lost their role.
The MPT states that the complaint is connected to the legal agreement signed by Caixa in 2022, after the scandal, in which the bank committed itself to other forms of violence at work.
Caixa has until the 26th to respond to the MPT’s questions. The reporter contacted the bank’s press office and is awaiting a response.
In November, after the police operation that culminated in the liquidation of Banco Master, the president of Caixa, Carlos Vieira, said that it was unreasonable to transform the episode related to Caixa Asset.
In October last year, the TCU (Federal Audit Court) Igor Macedo Laino, former director of Caixa Asset. The rapporteur, Antonio Anastasia, understood that Laino ignored technical opinions and criticisms made by specialized units that pointed out low liquidity, excessive deadlines, atypical concentration and the need for additional assessments on the operation.
