Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP (“GPM”) announces that a
class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of investors who
purchased Banco Bradesco S.A. (“Banco Bradesco” or the “Company”)
(NYSE: BBD) American Depository Shares between April 30, 2012
through May 31, 2016, inclusive (the “Class Period”). Banco
Bradesco investors have until August 2, 2016 to
file a lead plaintiff motion.
Investors suffering losses on their Banco Bradesco investments
are encouraged to contact Lesley Portnoy of GPM to discuss their
legal rights in this class action at 310-201-9150 or by email to
shareholders@glancylaw.com.
On May 31, 2016, several news reports disclosed that the
Company’s CEO was indicted by Brazil police on corruption related
charges. The Company, through its executives allegedly attempted to
avoid paying an $828 million tax expense due to Brazil’s Tax
Revenue Service. On this news shares of Banco Bradesco fell nearly
6%, on volume of over 31 million shares, to close on May 31, 2016
at $6.26 a share.
According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period the
defendants issued false and misleading statements to investors
and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Banco Bradesco was engaged in a
bribery scheme in collusion with the Brazilian Finance Ministry’s
CARF; (2) Banco Bradesco executives were plotting to avoid an $828
million tax fine that was imposed by Brazil’s Internal Revenue
Service; (3) Banco Bradesco’s CEO, Defendant Cappi, and other
executives, directors and employees of the Company had engaged in
bribery, money laundering, and corruption; (4) Banco Bradesco’s
internal control over financial reporting and its disclosure
controls and procedures were not effective; and (5) as a result,
Banco Bradesco’s public statements were materially false and
misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the
market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
If you purchased Banco Bradesco American Depository Shares
during the Class Period you may move the Court no later
than August 2, 2016 to ask the Court to appoint
