It 'great lie' to say that revenue does not inspect large contributors said Mantega

Finance Minister Guido Mantega said on Wednesday (26) which is a "great lie" to say that the Internal Revenue Service would not be overseeing the major contributors.

"It's a great lie to say that we are not inspecting the large taxpayers. For over 10 years is a monitoring program for major donors has been strengthened by my command," he told reporters. "It's an excuse to cover up inefficiency," he added.

Mantega also said that asked to be strengthened the team that oversees the country's banks that he said was "lacking."

On Monday (24), on the night, twelve servers senior Internal Revenue resigned conference, including six regional superintendents.

In a letter to the current secretary of the body, Otacílio Cartaxo, they asked that the current secretary keep and further develop the policy review which has been implemented with a focus on large taxpayers, as well as preserving also the technical autonomy of the court and that "there tolerate any political interference. "

Mantega said on Wednesday that the servers would be replaced already, because he said it is "normal" when there is change of command.

The finance minister also said that if those servers were relieved of their positions of trust "leak" information considered "sensitive" that they will be blamed. "If there is leakage of sensitive information, will be held accountable. It is a crime. It will have severe consequences," he said.

Mantega denied that there is an enduring crisis in the Internal Revenue Service, the agency responsible for collecting taxes and monitoring taxpayers. "It's all in normal range. The IRS is working yes. This is creating an idea that there is confusion. But it is running at normal," said the minister.
