Court Acquits Mantega and Coutinho in Fraud Case
The judge of the 12th Federal Court of Brasília acquitted the accused of fraud and corruption against BNDES – National Bank for Economic and Social Development. The case was against former Minister of Finance Guido Mantega; former president of BNDES Leonardo Coutinho; and the son of former Minister Dilma Rousseff (PT) Leonardo Mantega.
The case involving Mantega’s work at BNDES began in Lava Jato, in Paraná. The STF then forwarded it to the Federal Court of Brasília, bringing the case back to the appeal phase. During the process, the former minister turned 70 to allow for prescriptions in cases of corruption and money laundering. According to the indictment, the scheme would operate through intermediaries linking businessmen to political agents who interfere in the decisions of the banking institution.
