MEXICO CITY (Reuters) – Mexico’s Credito Real said on Tuesday it had requested to enter the U.S. Chapter 15 bankruptcy procedure as the company struggles to meet its financial obligations.
In a securities filing, the company also said the Mexican units of Banco Santander and BBVA requested precautionary measures to secure assets, bank accounts and trust rights in a Mexico City court.
