Controversies

The bank was the centerpoint of a 1984 scandal which saw over 10 million dollars siphoned away from its coffers into bank accounts controlled by the then-governor, Jader Barbalho, and his associates.[5][6] The accusation involved the CEO, a political ally of Barbalho, and the financial director, both banned from working in the financial sector for 10 and 3 years, respectively.[7]
