Minister Alexandre de Moraes, of the Federal Supreme Court (STF), suspended the search and seizure of e-mails from directors, administrators and managers of Grupo Americanas, including those exchanged with lawyers. The measure had been authorized by the Justice of São Paulo. In the suspension request, the Americanas and lawyers argue that the search and seizure disregards the Court’s own decision, which guarantees the lawyer the inviolability of his office and files, data, correspondence and communications, including telephone and the like, when related to professional practice. . Minister Alexandre de Moraes recognized that the measure jeopardizes the guarantee of secrecy of communication between lawyer and client, and highlighted that the investigation of accounting or management irregularities in the company cannot violate this right. According to the minister, access to this information by third parties can cause irreversible damage. When determining the search and seizure of the emails of the group’s employees, the 2nd Regional Court of Business Competence and Arbitration of São Paulo accepted the request presented by Banco Bradesco. Agreement The reference shareholders of Americanas, Jorge Paulo Lemann, Alberto Sicupira and Marcel Telles, proposed today (16) to the group’s financial creditors an agreement that foresees a cash capital contribution of R$ 7 billion. According to a material fact disclosed to the market, after the group’s meeting, by the Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM), there was no agreement. The Americanas Group had its request for judicial recovery accepted by the 4th Corporate Court of Rio de Janeiro last month, after accounting inconsistencies alleged by the group having generated an amount of more than R$ 40 billion in debt.
