The matter of #Twitter/X in #Brazil "is a good example for foreign companies to think twice before making public statements or taking insights when it comes to politics", Aperio's LatAm and Iberia Head Luis L. told fDi Intelligence.
A lot of finger-pointing has been happening in #Brazil over X being blocked by a Supreme Court order. It follows a longstanding feud between Elon #Musk and vocal judge Alexandre de Moraes. Over the weekend, X agreed to comply, paving the way to come back online. The situation is mired by political polarisation and the court's questionable tactics. But two things are clear: 📱 Big tech companies are not above local law, including in emerging markets. 📱 This doesn't change even when there is judicial activism. Read the full story by Danielle Myles here 👉🏽 https://lnkd.in/g74QSmE9 Thank you to Luis L., Luca Belli, Vinicius Bitencourt and Mariano M. for their insights. #FDI #foreigndirectinvestment #judicialactivism #XinBrazil #XbanBrazil #AlexandredeMoraes #Brazilsupremecourt #socialmediaban #Brazilpolitics #X #bigtech

The #sugarindustry in the #DominicanRepublic has historically been accused of forced and child labour practices in the sugarcane fields as well as poor living conditions in the workers’ camps (also known as #bateyes). The three largest sugarcane producers in the Dominican Republic, Central Romana Corporación, the Consorcio Azucarero Empresas Industriales, and Consorcio Azucarero Central, reportedly employed, under conditions of forced labour, Haitians and Dominicans of Haitian descent to cut the sugar cane, most of which is then exported to the #UnitedStates. In this regard, in 2022, the US Customers and Border Protection (#CBP) issued a Withhold Release Order (#WRO) against #CentralRomana, the largest’s sugarcane producer in the Dominican Republic and a major sugar exporter to the US, over the use of forced labour in its operations. The order blocked exports to the US of all raw sugar and sugar-based products produced by Central Romana. In a press release dated November 2022, CBP indicated that it had identified, during its investigation, a number of workers’ rights violations, including abuse of “vulnerability”, isolation, withholding of wages, abusive working and living conditions, and excessive overtime in the company’s operations. A short analysis of the forced labour risks in the Dominican sugar industry based on a recent investigation can be found on the link below. Reach out if interested in further details.

This week, #Mexico’s President #AMLO finally received approval from Mexico’s Senate for his #judicialreforms, which are are arguably dangerous and counterintuitively anti-democratic. By opening federal judicial positions to popular election, the Mexican government renders their Judiciary power more vulnerable to corruption and influence from both organised crime groups and other political parties, negatively affecting the Judiciary’s supposed impartiality and likely worsening the country’s already high rates of impunity. I cover this more in depth in an article I wrote in May for Aperio Intelligence’s Financial Crime Digest in the run up to Mexico’s June 2024 elections. https://lnkd.in/dQVni_Uw
