Snapshot

In 2014, a Brazilian prosecutor filed a lawsuit against Odebrecht accusing the company of human trafficking and of maintaing workers in slave labour conditions. The Court convicted the Odebrecht group and ordered the company to pay damages.

Factual Background

In March 2014, the Brazilian Government notified Odebrecht, a Brazilian multinational, of allegations of slave labour conditions in its Angola operations.  These accusations were related to the construction of a biofuel plant for Biocom (Companhia de Bioenergia de Angola), a local bio-fuel company owned by Odebrecht, Sonangol, and Damer Indústria.  The company denied the allegations.

Legal Argument

A Brazilian prosecutor accused the company of human trafficking and maintaining Brazilian workers in slave labour conditions in Angola.

Legal Proceeding

On 13 June 2014, a Brazilian prosecutor filed a lawsuit against Odebrecht in the labour court of Araraquara, Brazil.  The prosecutor sought economic compensation for the workers and payment of a fine.  The complaint also demanded that public banks suspend loans awarded to the company.
