2 Sep 2026 Cervejaria Petrópolis S.A. (em recuperação judicial); Imcopa Importação, Exportação e Indústria de Óleos S.A.CADE fines Cervejaria Petrópolis for early closing of Imcopa takeover €231,813
The Tribunal of the Conselho Administrativo de Defesa Econômica (CADE, Brazilian competition authority) unanimously found that Cervejaria Petrópolis had taken control of the oil producer Imcopa before the legally required notification (gun jumping) and imposed a fine of 1,382,418.22 BRL. According to the investigation, the acquisition was completed on 19 March 2024 but notified only on 9 April 2024; CADE itself cleared the transaction without conditions in April 2024. The argument that the change of control resulted from court decisions in the judicial reorganisation proceedings (recuperação judicial) did not persuade the authority. The amount and the facts have not been confirmed against the primary source.
Acquisitions in a restructuring or insolvency context, too, may be completed only after notification and clearance.

11 Feb 2026 Liga do Futebol Brasileiro (Libra), Clube de Regatas do Flamengo, Sociedade Esportiva Palmeiras u. a. (6 Organisationen)CADE: football league Libra and five clubs pay BRL 559,267.26 for gun jumping €90,565
The CADE Tribunal found that the Libra league, as a joint venture of clubs for the joint commercialisation of broadcasting and commercial rights, was notifiable and had been implemented before clearance, and approved a settlement (Acordo em APAC) with Libra and Flamengo, Palmeiras, Santos, São Paulo and Grêmio with an alleged pecuniary contribution of 559,267.26 BRL. The parties must notify the transactions already completed within 60 days and report changes to their commercialisation structures for three years; for the rival league FFU (formerly LFU) no infringement was found because the turnover thresholds were not met. The amount and the facts have not been confirmed against the primary source.
Clubs and associations that market rights jointly may form a notifiable joint venture and must obtain clearance before launch.

The CADE Tribunal convicted two car dealers of gun jumping: in March 2015 Navesa had acquired tangible and intangible assets from Renauto for operating Renault dealerships in Goiânia without obtaining clearance for the notifiable transaction. Although the Tribunal had ordered notification in August 2023, the parties filed the form only in November 2024; a fine totalling 5,360,560.00 BRL, payable within 30 days, was imposed. The amount and the facts have not been confirmed against the primary source.
Notifiable acquisitions may only be completed after clearance; a notification ordered by the authority should be made without delay.
