Gilberto Magalhães Occhi (born 24 July 1958) is a Brazilian lawyer and politician member of theProgressistas (PP). He wasMinister of Cities and ofNational Integration during the government of presidentDilma Rousseff.
On 1 June 2016, then acting presidentMichel Temer nominated Occhi president of the Brazilian public bankCaixa Econômica Federal.[1] Occhi left the presidency of the bank after he was nominatedMinister of Health by president Temer, to substituteRicardo Barros, who was running for reelection as federal deputy.[2]
On 29 December 2014, he was confirmed as new Minister of National Integration of the second cabinet of Dilma Rousseff.[3] On 13 April 2016, he resigned after his party, the Progressive Party, decided to support theimpeachment of Dilma Rousseff.[4][5]
In October 2017, theMinister of FinanceHenrique Meirelles and Occhi discussed about Caixa's statute reform. The reunion had as main theme the approval of a new statute of the bank. The changes want to turn the bank administration more transparent and adapt the financial institution to the rules provided in the State Companies Law.[6]
Yet in October 2017, Occhi was cited in the plea of the financial operator Lúcio Funaro to theProsecutor-General of the Republic (PGR). In his testimony, Funaro defended that Gilberto Occhi had, at the time he was vice-president of Government of the financial institution, a "monthly goal" of bribes to "produce" and distribute to politicians of the Progressive Party. By his press advisor, Occhi informed that "[he] strongly deny" what was said by Lúcio Funaro about his person.[7][8]
