Jerónimo Martins appeals Polish regulator's decision

Observador14 September 2026 at 17:51

The Jerónimo Martins group announced it will appeal the decision by the Polish competition regulator, which imposed a fine of approximately 121 million euros on the Portuguese group.

The penalty was imposed for anti-competitive practices, according to the decision by the Polish regulatory authority.

The companies involved allegedly agreed not to compete for employees, which constitutes a violation of competition rules in that country.

The fine represents a significant financial impact for the Jerónimo Martins group, which operates in several markets, including Poland, where it owns the Biedronka supermarket chain.

Why this matters

Portuguese readers who invest in Jerónimo Martins or follow national companies abroad are directly affected by this multi-million euro fine, which may impact the group's financial results. The case also reflects the growing regulatory scrutiny in Poland over hiring practices, a market where companies with a large presence in the territory can significantly influence employment conditions.

BRB removes former executives after Banco Master investigation

The Bank of Brasília (BRB) removed two former directors and three former superintendents suspected of involvement in irregularities in business dealings with Banco Master. Although they were removed from their positions at the end of last year, they continued working at branches because they are tenured civil servants, but now they also stop acting in these functions. The removal resulted from the opening of an administrative disciplinary proceeding (PAD) authorized by the Board of Directors three weeks ago. BRB bought R$ 21.9 billion in portfolios from Daniel Vorcaro's bank, with approximately R$ 12 billion showing signs of lack of backing and structural inconsistencies.
