CHARGES OF HARASSMENT
O Power 360 found out that Pedro Guimarães’ reputation as a harasser was great in the political world of Brasília. Government officials and allied congressmen admitted to knowing about such cases.
Pedro Guimarães took charge of Caixa in January 2019, shortly after the inauguration of the president Jair Bolsonaro (PL). A specialist in privatizations, he was appointed by Minister Paulo Guedes (Economy), with whom he was already close. Gradually, Guimarães distanced himself from Guedes and the other ministers. Today, he has a direct connection with the Chief Executive.
In 2020, for example, it was a constant figure in the lives carried out weekly by Bolsonaro. Guimarães was called by the president to talk about the emergency aid paid through Caixa to the most vulnerable during the pandemic.
Before joining the government, the executive was a partner at Banco Brasil Plural.
He resigned shortly after the harassment reports were published. Daniella Marques, former Secretary of Productivity and Competitiveness of the Ministry of Economy, took over the post.
