The defense of Miguel Gutierrez, former CEO of Americanas arrested this week in the wake of Operation Diaclosure, by the Federal Police, spoke out this Saturday (29), in relation to the executive’s arrest.
The defense reports that the executive “is at his residence in Madrid, Spain, at the same address communicated since 2023 to the Spanish and Brazilian authorities, where he has always been available to the various bodies interested in the ongoing investigations”.
The defense says that, “on yesterday’s date (28/06), the executive appeared voluntarily before the police and jurisdictional authorities in order to provide the requested clarifications.”!
According to Gutierrez, with access to the records, “Miguel will now be able to defend himself against the allegations arising from false reports against him.” The executive is being investigated as one of those responsible for the R$25.3 billion accounting fraud at Americanas.
The defense also reiterates that “Miguel never participated in or had knowledge of any fraud and that he has been collaborating with the authorities, providing the necessary clarifications in the appropriate forums, once again expressing his absolute trust in the Brazilian and international authorities.”
