PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 13, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kehoe Law Firm, P.C. announces that it is investigating potential securities claims on behalf of shareholders of Banco Macro S.A. (NYSE: BMA) stemming from allegations that Banco Macro may have issued materially misleading business information to the investing public.

On December 7, 2017, Bloomberg reported that Banco Macro Chairman Jorge Horacio Brito was the subject of a corruption scandal involving former Argentine Vice President Amado Boudou.

According to the article, “former Argentine Vice President Amado Boudou had been charged with illicit enrichment for allegedly using shell companies and secret middlemen to gain control of a company given contracts to print the national currency.” The article identified Banco Macro’s Chairman Brito as one of those middlemen.

The securities investigation concerns whether Banco Macro’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission contained untrue statements of material facts or omitted material information.

Banco Macro Shareholders are encouraged to contact Kehoe Law Firm, P.C. to discuss the securities investigation.
