Vanderlei Barbosa dos Santos

Vanderlei Barbosa dos Santos served as the director of benefits at the INSS and was named by Minister Wolney Queiroz as a crucial individual in the agency's internal controls. His removal from the INSS came in the wake of the Operação Sem Desconto, which investigates extensive fraud within the organization. Queiroz indicated that Barbosa dos Santos, along with other officials, failed to provide necessary alerts regarding fraudulent activities that had escalated significantly.
