BRASILIA, June 16 (Reuters) - The official at Brazil's antitrust agency CADE studying the Stone-Linx deal said on Monday it should be "approved without restrictions."
Financial technology solutions company StoneCo is seeking to buy Brazilian software company Linx, a takeover objected to by rivals like Cielo and Safra arguing it could lead to a loss of clients to Stone as a payments processor.
"The operation deserves to be approved without restrictions," CADE's Sergio Ravagnani said in his judgment.
