Jorge Horacio Brito (born July 23, 1952) is a prominent Argentine banker and businessman, who has been implicated in Boudougate, also known as the Ciccone case, a political and financial scandal that erupted in February 2012. He is said to have great influence in the economy and politics of his country.Brito is the CEO of Argentina's largest bank, Macro Bank (Banco Macro), and is the richest banker in the country, with a fortune of 700 million US dollars. Identified by the U.S. Embassy in Buenos Aires in cables written in 2008 and 2009, and later made public by Wikileaks, as “Kirchner's banker,” Brito has been described as “an essential figure in the ruling party,” although his relationship with current President Cristina Kirchner has been widely characterized as being less intimate than that with her late husband and predecessor, Néstor Kirchner.Although Brito apparently played a central role in the irregular activities that led to the Boudougate scandal, he has not been charged with a crime or called as a witness, at least in part, allegedly, because of his intimate involvement in and knowledge of the Kirchner family finances and his personal connection to the judge in the trial, Ariel Lijo.
