The mining company MMX Sudeste, in a lawsuit in the MG court that has been ongoing since 2014, managed to suspend the bankruptcy in the 1st Business Court of the District of Belo Horizonte after filing an appeal. Eike Batista’s mining company argued that it was not given the opportunity to respond to the decisions of the Judicial Administrator to convert the judicial recovery into bankruptcy.

The assets of the mining companies had their negotiations interrupted.

The Bankruptcy of MMX Sudeste in MG and Controversies with the Chinese Group
The bankruptcy decision at the beginning of the month was decreed by Judge Claudia Helena Batista, of the 1st Business Court of the District of Belo Horizonte (MG), which oversees the judicial recovery of Eike Batista’s company. The controlling entity had already stated that the decision was provisional and subject to appeal, as has happened. As mentioned before, this would directly impact the agreement with CDILL.
Since the announcement of the partnership, some suspicions have arisen as although CDILL promised to invest US$ 50 million in the mining company, the investor reportedly only had a capital of US$ 128.60 according to a survey conducted by the Brazilian Association of Investors (Abradin) in the investor registry of Hong Kong. In the petition to avoid the bankruptcy of MMX Sudeste, the investment from CDILL was the primary argument used to delay the decision.
