SAO PAULO, March 26 (Reuters) - Brazilian meatpacker JBS

proposed on Tuesday that brothers Wesley and Joesley

Batista, the company's controlling shareholders, be elected

board members at a shareholders' meeting scheduled for April.

JBS proposed that the brothers would fill two new seats on

the board.

The move would mark the return of the Batista brothers, both

of whom formerly served as chief executives and board members at

JBS. The brothers were involved in a corruption and bribery

scandal toward the end of the last decade.

The shareholders meeting to vote on adding two extra

board seats and appointing the brothers is scheduled for April

26.
