(Reuters) Brazil's Braskem SA, Latin America's largest petrochemical producer, said Monday it had entered into talks with the US Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding an internal graft probe started in 2015.
Braskem said in a securities filing that it planned to begin a parallel process with Brazilian authorities and an eventual deal could result in "material financial obligations" and other possible sanctions. The company said it could not predict the duration or result of the ongoing talks.
