Ahold announced earlier this year that it intends to sell the Latin American units after accounting irregularities at its US Foodservice unit led to profits being overstated by US$880m.

Disco will assume the debts of Supermercados Stock in Paraguay and Santa Isabel in Peru, reported Reuters.

Ahold is also in the process of selling Chilean Santa Isabel to Chile’s Cencosud.
