Banco Central Publishes 2026-2027 Integrity Plan Amid Employee InvestigationThe Banco Central has officially published its 'Plano de Integridade para o ciclo 2026-2027' (Integrity Plan for the 2026-2027 cycle), a significant move that reafirms integrity as the institution's central value. This action comes in the wake of an internal investigation that identified indications of 'vantagens indevidas' (improper advantages) received by two of its employees.
The employees in question, Paulo Sérgio Neves de Sousa and Bellini Santana, are currently under investigation for their alleged inadequate performance in the supervision of Banco Master. The publication of the new integrity plan is seen as a direct response to these findings, aiming to strengthen internal controls and ethical standards.
By formalizing its commitment to integrity through a structured, forward-looking plan, the Banco Central is taking a proactive step to address the issues uncovered and prevent future occurrences. The plan for the 2026-2027 cycle is expected to outline specific measures, training, and oversight mechanisms designed to uphold the highest standards of conduct within the institution.
