Brazil-based cryptocurrency brokerage M Intermediação e Prestação de Serviço Ltda. has won a lawsuit against Banco Bradesco, which was initiated after the bank closed M Intermediação’s account.
Cointelegraph Brazil reported the legal victory in a report on August 1. According to the report, M Intermediação uses the Bitcoin network as well as traditional bank accounts to let their users make deposits and withdrawals in both Bitcoin (BTC) and Brazilian reals.
The Banco Bradesco decided to block the brokerage’s account in 2018, claiming that their security system detected unusual activity. The bank subsequently blocked the account in order to prevent alleged fraud.
The presiding judge reportedly did not find any evidence that would substantiate Bradesco’s claims, and so ruled that Bradesco must keep M Intermediação account open.
