BTG appeals injunction protecting Americans from creditors

Bank BTG Pactual is appealing in court an injunction protecting the Americanas retailer from creditors, documents seen by Reuters show.

In an appeal filed Saturday, BTG attorneys argue that the injunction unlawfully reversed a payment Americanas made to BTG.

Americanas obtained a 30-day injunction Friday from early repayment, a period the retailer can use to settle with creditors or seek a judicial recovery.

Americanas did not respond to requests for comment. BTG declined to comment on the matter.
