Belline Santana, a public servant involved in the ongoing investigation related to the Master case, was officially removed from his position on the fiscal council of Centrus, the pension fund for employees of the Central Bank of Brazil. The dismissal took place on Tuesday, October 10, and was ordered by Ailton de Aquino, who is the director of Inspection at the Central Bank and the president of Centrus's deliberative council. This removal was carried out following recommendations from the legal team to ensure the proper handling of the unprecedented situation surrounding the investigation.

Eduardo Russolo Ferreira has been appointed to replace Santana. Ferreira leads the department responsible for accounting and budget execution at the Central Bank and was already serving as a deputy for Santana on the council. The legal complexities surrounding this case made it uncertain whether Ferreira could assume the role immediately, given the unique circumstances. Questions about the process and governance of the council have arisen as this situation is unprecedented.

Attempts to reach Santana for comments via phone and WhatsApp were unsuccessful, and his defense team could not be located. The Centrus is a closed pension entity, and Santana's dismissal highlights ongoing concerns regarding governance and oversight in public pension funds, particularly in light of ongoing investigations that could affect public trust and accountability in the management of such funds.
