MMX, Eike’s Company, Is Under Judicial Recovery
The company MMX, which is under judicial recovery, reported in December that Eike Batista, the controlling shareholder of the company, is awaiting possible homologation of a plea bargain agreement reached with the Federal Public Ministry, but has not yet received any official communication confirming the homologation.
The clarification, sent to the Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM), comes after news reports that Minister Rosa Weber, of the Supreme Federal Court, had homologated the businessman’s plea bargain agreement on November 3.
MMX also stated that it was not mentioned in any of the news articles it had access to and that it is attentive to possible developments of the event, especially if they involve the company.
Eike Batista was sentenced in 2020 to eight years in prison under a semi-open regime for market manipulation by disseminating false information regarding the operations of his oil company OGX.
Eike Batista’s company was one of the most famous on the Brazilian Stock Exchange in the 2000s, but it turned out to be one of the biggest frauds in the history of the country’s capital markets.
