Again the airline Avianca is in the eye of the hurricane. In a document that the company delivered to the Bankruptcy Court of the Southern District of New York, where the company is filing the so-called chapter 11, the company’s accounting is evidenced.
In that document of more than 700 pages, it is revealed that the main executives of the airline received bonuses for more than 18 million dollars. All this was programmed before the pandemic, but within the framework of a process of reducing salaries to employees.
For example, only the president of the airline, the Dutch Anko David van der Werff, received on June 5 of this year a bond for almost 3 million dollars.
For his part, the vice president of operations, Eduardo Mendoza De la Torre, received a bonus of $ 112,000 on May 7 of this year. This is to mention some of the payments that were known in that document.
Another of the payments that are in this document that Avianca delivered to the court in the United States is the heading of legal advice in all the countries where they operate. Colombia, Brazil, Argentina and Chile, among others.
But perhaps something striking are the payments that the company made to one of the most important law firms in the country: Brigard & Urrutia. The payments made to this law firm, $ 154,000, were made at the South Bank House on Barrow Street, in Dublin, Ireland.
Knowing this information, many wondered why a law firm that provides advisory services in Colombia receives its payments in that country.
