Banco Pan accounting fraud and balance-sheet shortfall
Banco Pan continued recording credit portfolios that had already been sold to other financial institutions, resulting in overstated assets and a major balance-sheet shortfall. Grupo Silvio Santos announced a R$2.5 billion loan through the Credit Guarantee Fund to stabilize the institution. The episode led to a change in control and the sale of the group’s stake to BTG Pactual.
