A Brazilian judge has suspended Petrobras' board chair, Pietro Sampaio Mendes, due to a conflict of interest regarding his role in the Ministry of Energy. The court cited other alleged non-compliance issues, including the lack of use of a recruitment agent during Mendes' appointment. This suspension follows the recent suspension of another board member, Sergio Machado Rezende, for "alleged failure to comply with company bylaws."
