The Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) has initiated an investigation into a false acquisition proposal involving PDG, following a claim that the Chinese company Sun Hung Kai Properties (SHKP) made an offer to purchase the firm, which has not been confirmed. Additionally, CVM is investigating Josué Gomes, the owner of Coteminas and president of the Federation of Industries of the State of São Paulo (Fiesp), for the suspension of the registration of Springs Global, a subsidiary of Coteminas. The commission has formally accused Gomes and other directors of Springs Global in relation to this matter.
