The Brazilian Federal Police is investigating the involvement of bank employees in a fraud case linked to Americanas, following revelations from whistleblower Fabio Abrate. The investigation has prompted scrutiny of major banks, including Itaú and Santander, which have denied any wrongdoing related to the operations of Americanas. The fraud is estimated to exceed R$ 20 billion. Additionally, the Public Ministry of the Federal District has initiated its own investigation into the acquisition of Banco Master by the Banco Regional de Brasília (BRB). The BRB's president, Paulo Henrique Costa, is scheduled to provide information to local deputies regarding this acquisition on April 7. Meanwhile, the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) has demanded clarification from BTG, which has denied making any proposal for Banco Master.
