<JBS is Brazilian.

Owner of JBS is Jose Batista

Same Jose Batista as the Clinton Foundation Donor?

 

JBS’s founders are known for both big business and scandals

The family’s companies have been named in at least six probes

 

While Brazil’s enormous Carwash corruption scandal has gained international attention over the past few years, plenty of other graft investigations have been under way in the shadows. Six probes involve companies controlled by the Batista family, which built an empire out of beef, pulp and banking. Here’s a quick summary of the family, and their businesses, which are now at the center of the latest political crisis to engulf the country.

The Family

 

José Batista Sobrinho. Zé Mineiro, as the family patriarch is also known, founded the the company that became known as JBS (the name takes his initials). Working as a butcher, he settled in Brasilia in 1957, just as President Juscelino Kubitschek implemented his “fifty years in five” plan to fast-track building of the nation’s new capital. Batista helped supply meat for the construction workers and later acquired his first meatpacking plant, the first in a series of acquisitions that transformed his business into the world’s largest meatpacker over the next several decades. Now 84, Sobrinho is still involved in the family business. Batista has three sons and three daughters. Five of the children each have an equal interest in J&F Investimentos, the family holding company.

Brazilian Barons Become Five Slaughterhouse Billionaires

When Brazilian beef producer JBS SA tried buying U.S.-based National Beef Packing Co. and Smithfield Beef Group Inc. in 2008, it was met with a tide of opposition.

Attorneys general in 13 U.S. states filed suit against the Sao Paulo-based company, alleging the buyout of National Beef, the fourth-largest packer in the U.S., would threaten competitive pricing by creating an oligopoly led by JBS, Tyson Foods Inc. and Cargill Inc. A campaigning Hillary Clinton told the South Dakota daily Rapid City Journal that she opposed the Smithfield takeover and would “fight consolidation.”

The Batista family that controls JBS wasn’t discouraged. It scrapped the National Beef acquisition, completed the Smithfield purchase and turned JBS into a global food empire – all with the help of state bank support. With trailing 12-month revenue of 110 billion reais ($45 billion), JBS eclipsed Vale SA this year as the biggest company in Brazil after state-owned Petroleos Brasileiros SA. It’s also made five of JBS founder Jose Batista Sobrinho’s six children billionaires.

“They run a tight business,” said Revisson Bonfim, head of emerging market analysis at Sterne Agee & Leach in New York. “They come in where there’s a lot of waste and know how to dig the waste out. Acquisitions have always been in their DNA, but it wasn’t until they moved into the U.S. that it took off.”

 

SO JBS bought Smithfield before the Chinese got it?

"Anja and Kathy together have spent years in Afghanistan covering the conflict and the people there. Anja was a vibrant, dynamic journalist well-loved for her insightful photographs, her warm heart and joy for life. We are heartbroken at her loss," said AP Executive Editor Kathleen Carroll, speaking in New York.

 

The attack came on the eve of nationwide elections in Afghanistan.

The Taliban have vowed to disrupt Saturday's vote for a new president and provincial councils.
