UPDATE 2-BTG Pactual founder Esteves seeks to return as chairman
Banco BTG Pactual SA's founder Andre Esteves is seeking to be reappointed as the Brazilian investment bank's chairman, it said in a securities filing on Wednesday, but Chief Executive Roberto Sallouti said his return will not affect the bank's course. Esteves gained regulatory approval in December to return to the bank's controlling shareholder group, known as G7, having stepped down as CEO and chairman after being jailed briefly in 2015 on suspicion of corruption. Still, Esteves has overseen a push into retail banking, led negotiations on acquisitions and worked directly with clients on deals as a Reuters report showed in July, troubling some corporate governance specialists.
