Alberto Youssef (born 6 October 1967) is a Brazilian black-market banker. He has been implicated in several of Brazil's largest scandals during the past generation.[1] He was a figure in the Banestado scandal, and later was a major target of Operation Car Wash, the official investigation of corruption surrounding Petrobras, the government-controlled oil company.[2]
Bloomberg described Youssef in January 2015 as “Brazil's black-market central banker, a career criminal who smuggled cash for the rich and powerful”.[1] In August 2015, The New York Times called him “a convicted money launderer and former bon vivant.”[3]
Youssef was arrested in March 2014 for violating the terms of a plea-bargaining agreement. He is currently[when?] incarcerated.[1]
