The Americans accuse Bradesco of allying himself with the former CEO to gain an advantage

The impetus behind America’s counterattack against Bradesco was a letter from Gutierrez attached to the lawsuit filed by Bradesco. In the document, the former CEO states that the decisions of the previous management were discussed and received the approval of the Board of Directors and in particular Carlos Alberto Secupira, one of the shareholders of reference alongside Jorge Paulo Lehmann and Marcel Telles.

Gutierrez says he will refute the allegations in the lawsuit itself, again stating that the company is trying to protect “the people who will be best able to compensate it for the damages it says it suffered,” referring to the three reference shareholders. .
