The founder of Casas Bahía, Samuel Klein, would use the company’s cashiers to pay for sexual services, according to court decisions revealed by the Twitter. The young women, about 16 years old, would go to different locations in Casas Bahía, where they would be authorized by Samuel Klein to collect cash payments that ranged between R $ 10,000 and R $ 150,000. The disclosure came from lawsuits from former employees who felt constrained to participate in the situation, some of whom had already been compensated. The former owner of the company died in 2014.
The revelation comes in the wake of complaints involving her son, businessman Saul Klein, who was sued last week for allegedly abusing 230 women. The similarity of behaviors of father and son is more a coincidence as a result of the accusations revealed through testimonies in judicial processes that are processed in the Brazilian courts.
Court decisions on non-material damage to employees show that the young women had sexual relations with the employer, in a group, and then collected payments in chain stores, in cash or in merchandise. The girls traveled to São Paulo to spend a few days with Samuel Klein.
To the UOL, Samuel Klein’s lawyer, João da Costa Faria, said that the events are “highly damaging to the memory of a businessman venerated throughout the country, mainly due to acts of unequaled human solidarity, with a predominance of the least favored” . “It is unfortunate that, in the search for media events, one can try to tarnish an ingrained and unbreakable image.” In a note, the current manager of Casas Bahía said she would not comment on the case.
Conviction
One of the processes already considered by the Court resulted in a judgment that sentenced Casas Bahía to compensation of R $ 15 thousand. “The same declarant made a payment of R $ 150 thousand to a single girl at the request of Samuel Klein.” The former employee also said, according to the record, “that managers should do everything possible to make these payments. at the time the girl showed up at the branch, as she was authorized to receive her payment at any branch in the country, ”says an extract from the court decision.
Still according to the document, the situation generated all kinds of shame, from direct calls from the president ordering payments, to running, on foot, to other nearby branches when cash was short. On several occasions, there were discussions between the girls and the employees. All compensation to employees was between R $ 10,000 and R $ 15,000.
