A Braskem SA shareholder has sued the Brazilian petrochemical producer, accusing it of being involved in a graft scandal that has engulfed key stakeholders Odebrecht and Petrobras and led to a selloff in Braskem’s U.S.-traded stock.
Plaintiff Douglas W. Peters is seeking class action status for the lawsuit, filed in a Manhattan federal court on behalf of individuals or institutions that purchased Braskem’s American depositary receipts between June 1, 2010 and March 11, 2015, according to court documents.
