Foreign funds are vying to receive a billionaire fund from Brazilian construction company Odebrecht, which fell over a corruption scandal in 2017.
A sugar and alcohol deal by Odebrecht has been delayed by the Lone Star and Castlelake funds. Foreign funds are expected to receive credits estimated at R$ 1 billion before other Athos creditors. Odebrecht had bankruptcy requested by Caixa to Justice this month of October.
The company's sugar and alcohol agreement has an estimate of full payment of approximately R$ 8 billion and includes other bank creditors, including BB and BNDES.
