Brazilian federal prosecutors have initiated an investigation into Alexsandro Broedel Lopes, the incoming chief accounting officer of Santander, following allegations of fraud related to his previous role as CFO of Itaú. Documents reveal that a judge in São Paulo has ordered the seizure of Lopes' house, valued at R$ 10 million, as part of the legal proceedings against him. The investigation is being conducted by the Brazilian Public Prosecutor's Office (MPF), which is looking into the financial dealings of Lopes. The situation has drawn attention amid broader scrutiny of financial practices within Brazilian banks, particularly under the government of President Lula.
