ou por ela geridos
Portuguese to English
Law/Patents
Insurance
pensions
While I have no problem with the vocab, the grammar of this sentence is baffling me : can anyone suggest an explanation? "A prática, pelos detentores de participações qualificadas, de actos que impeçam ou dificultem uma gestão sã e prudente da entidade participada ou por ela geridos". What does "geridos" relate to?

or those it manages; or those managed by it
In this case, I believe "those" refers to the holder ("detentores")
