(firmenpresse) - SAN DIEGO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 04/30/12 -- The Shareholders Foundation, Inc. announces that a lawsuit was filed by an investor in shares of Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (WMT) against certain officers and directors of Wal-Mart Stores, Inc over bribery allegations at its subsidiary Wal-Mart de Mexico.
Investors who are current long-term stockholders in shares of Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (WMT) have certain options and should contact the Shareholders Foundation, Inc. by e-mail at or call +1 (858) 779-1554.
The plaintiff alleges that defendants have injured Wal-Mart by engaging in or covering up an alleged $24 million bribery campaign designed to advance Wal-Mart's expansion in Mexico. The plaintiff claims that illegal payments have and will continue to irreparably damage Wal-Mart's corporate image and goodwill and jeopardize its ability to do business in foreign countries.
The plaintiff says that company officers and directors responsible for the wrongdoing should reimburse Wal-Mart for damages.
On April 22, 2012, the New York Times had published an article concerning the potential bribes made by Wal-Mart de Mexico beginning as early as 2005. The article alleged that Wal-Mart de Mexico executives knew about the payments and actively took steps to conceal them. The article said that in a confidential report to his superiors, Wal-Mart's lead investigator, a former F.B.I. special agent, summed up their initial findings that "There is reasonable suspicion to believe that Mexican and USA laws have been violated."
Shares of Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. dropped from $62.39 on April 20 to as low as $57.25 on April 25, 2012, wiping out billions in market cap.
Those who are current investors in WMT shares, have certain options and should contact the Shareholders Foundation, Inc. by e-mail at or call +1 (858) 779-1554.
