Rio Prosecutors Seek to Halt Ambipar’s 30-Day Shield From Creditors

Prosecutors argue the order overreaches by extending to foreign affiliates without essential corporate disclosures.

Overview

  • The Rio de Janeiro Public Prosecutor’s Office filed the appeal on October 11 at the state appeals court seeking suspension of the injunction during review.
  • Prosecutor Anco Márcio Valle says the preliminary measure was granted precipitately without basic information about the group’s structure.
  • The filing cites a network of 354 companies across Brazil and multiple foreign jurisdictions, underscoring concerns about the injunction’s scope.
  • On October 10, appellate judge Mauro Pereira Martins denied BTG Pactual Chile’s bid to limit transnational effects, ruling the jurisdictional issues are tied to the case merits.
  • BTG details roughly $26 million in financing later increased by about $10 million and secured by Chilean collateral as it contests coverage of foreign Ambipar entities; Ambipar declined to comment.
