Clarification Note – Ochosur
Proética has received a letter from the Ochosur business group requesting that we publish a clarification note regarding the report titled “The Business of Deforestation,” published in 2017.
In this regard, Proética considers it appropriate to make the following clarification:
The aforementioned report was the result of an investigation based on facts, documents, administrative proceedings, tax investigations, and other sources cited therein.
Regarding the corporate identity of the companies Ochosur P SAC and Ochosur U SAC, as evidenced by the corporate documentation attached to the letter, as well as by Cassation Ruling 3328-2023 issued by the Permanent Chamber of the Supreme Court, these are separate companies from Plantaciones de Pucallpa SAC and Plantaciones de Ucayali SAC, which are linked to Dennis Nicholas Melka.
Consequently, the language used in the 2017 report should not be interpreted as asserting that there was a simple change in corporate name between these legal entities.
