Allied With The Chinese, Ex-Billionaire Eike Batista Tries To Repurchase Porto do Açu That Once Belonged Entirely To MMX, A Company Of The EBX Group

According to the publication, in December, businessman Eike Batista went to Porto do Açu, located in the north of Rio de Janeiro, with a Chinese investor to introduce him to the site.

Porto do Açu once fully belonged to MMX (MMXM3), a company of the EBX group owned by Eike Batista. Currently, MMX is undergoing judicial recovery and remains in operation through a preliminary injunction, with the businessman still owning about 49.7% of the miner MMX.

Currently, Porto do Açu is managed by Prumo Logística, which is responsible for 25% of Brazilian oil exports. In operation since 2014, the port, industrial, and energy generation enterprise consists of 13 companies – 7 independent and 6 subsidiaries of Prumo.

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.
