*Spanish Gambling Firm Codere Piling Up Debt in Latin America - Regulatory setbacks in Mexico and Argentina and a recession that is shrinking its market at home have Codere SA CDR MC +3.18 percent scrambling to restructure a growing debt burden. The Madrid-based company's debt payments due in June are superior to its €86.4 million ($114.6 million) valuation on the Spanish stock exchange, highlighting a credit crunch that is causing a sharp increase in corporate bankruptcies as banks become less willing to refinance old debts.
Last week, the company restated its 2012 results due to an accounting error, raising its net loss to €134 million from €104.7 million. Codere said the error was related to its 2007 acquisition of a 49% stake in Mexican racetrack operator ICELA.
Codere's shares have fallen 58% this year, making the company the fourth-worst performer on the Spanish stock exchange; the other three have filed for bankruptcy or been taken over by the government. (source: Wall Street Journal)
