Shares in Eike Batista’s oil platform leasing unit are being embargoed at the request of Acciona SA as the Spanish power generator seeks to secure payment from the former billionaire’s shipbuilder, Acciona said.
A judge in the Netherlands granted a petition to hold the shares of OSX Brasil SA’s leasing unit, Madrid-based Acciona said in an e-mailed response to questions after the ruling was reported by Veja columnist Lauro Jardim. OSX, based in Rio de Janeiro, didn’t reply to requests for comment to its press office. Acciona didn’t provide details of the legal case.
