Gilberto Magalhães Occhi (born 24 July 1958) is a Brazilian lawyer and politician member of the Progressistas (PP). He was Minister of Cities and of National Integration during the government of president Dilma Rousseff.

On 1 June 2016, then acting president Michel Temer nominated Occhi president of the Brazilian public bank Caixa Econômica Federal.[1] Occhi left the presidency of the bank after he was nominated Minister of Health by president Temer, to substitute Ricardo Barros, who was running for reelection as federal deputy.[2]

Biography

[edit | edit source]

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 the impeachment of Dilma Rousseff.[4][5]

In October 2017, the Minister of Finance Henrique 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 the Prosecutor-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]
