Add giant investment firm Pacific Investment Management Co. to the list of entities suing Brazil’s troubled state-run oil company Petroleo Brasileiro SA.
California-based Pimco claims in its lawsuit that Petrobras misled investors about the scope and scale of a vast corruption scandal that has wiped billions of dollars in value from Petrobras’ books.
Pimco is the latest among a long list of plaintiffs seeking to recoup money they lost as a result of the scandal, and the suit is yet more bad news for Petrobras as it struggles to restore its reputation and sell assets to reduce its ballooning debt pile.
