Bradesco's legal department takes a tougher stance against Americanas, alleging money laundering.
The bank will request access to the investigations.
247 - Bradesco will request access to the investigations conducted by the Public Prosecutor's Office regarding the accounting fraud of approximately R$ 20 billion at Lojas Americanas. The institution will argue that, as a victim that may have suffered an estimated loss of R$ 4 billion, it should be guaranteed access to the agency's investigations, reports journalist Mônica Bergamo in Folha de S.Paulo.
According to the bank's lawyer, José da Costa, former Secretary of Justice of São Paulo, there is evidence of criminal practices and that the billionaire trio of shareholders, formed by Jorge Paulo Lemann, Marcel Telles and Beto Sicupira, were aware of the crimes.
