BRASILIA (Reuters) – Brazilian appeals court STJ has authorized on Tuesday the return of billionaire Joesley Batista to managing positions in companies controlled by meatpacker JBS SA
In a court decision, judge Rogerio Schietti said it did not make sense any more to bar Joesley from positions in the companies in which he is a controlling shareholder. He has been barred from holding positions since 2017, when he was arrested for omitting facts in his plea deal confessing corruption.
