LOS ANGELES, Ca., May 11, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP (“GPM”) reminds investors of the May 11, 2018 deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in the class action filed on behalf of investors that purchased BRF S.A. (“BRF” or the “Company”) (NYSE: BRFS ) securities between April 4, 2013 through March 2, 2018 , inclusive (the “Class Period”).

The complaint filed in this class action alleges that, Defendants during the Class Period made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) BRF employees paid bribes to regulators and politicians to subvert inspections in order to conceal unsanitary practices at the Company’s meatpacking plants; (2) the foregoing conduct, when it came to light, would foreseeably subject BRF and its officers to heightened regulatory enforcement and/or prosecution; and (3) as a result, BRF’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.
On March 5, 2018, Reuters reported that Brazilian federal police arrested BRF’s former CEO on charges that he and other executives knew that BRF fraudulently avoided food safety checks. On this news, BRF’s share price fell $1.83, or more than 19% to close at $7.59 per share on March 5, 2018, thereby injuring investors.
