The Americanas fraud has led a wave of insolvencies in Brazil, shaking the market.
This wave of financial distress has ensnared international creditors into the slow-moving Brazilian insolvency landscape.

By gathering evidence to show the corrupt nature of the foreign proceedings and one’s severed ties with the foreign country, targets can beat back these hostile campaigns.
