(Namita Pradhan, Intern Journalist) U.S.A; The General Motors Co has asked the federal judge to reinstate the racketeering lawsuit against Flat Chrysler Automobiles NV (FCA) on Monday claiming to have new information on foreign accounts used for the scheme of bribery which involves its union leader and smaller rival.
On the filing to the U.S District Judge Paul Borman, GM has said the scheme, to which it alleges has held between the FCA executives and the former United Auto Workers (UAW) leaders, which “is much broader and deeper than the previously suspected or revealed as it involved FCA group use a various account on other countries…. to have control over the corrupt individuals with compensating and corrupting ones who were involved centrally on the scheme to harm GM”.
GM has alleged that FCA has bribed the UAW officials from many years to corrupt the process of bargaining and gain advantages, costing the GM with billions of dollars.
The FCA will defend itself vigorously and accept all the available steps with the response to GM’s attempt to resurrect the groundless lawsuit, said by the FCA.
The UAW was unaware of the allegations regarding the illicit off-shore accounts as claimed, by GM, said by the UAW on a statement. “If GM has information that supports the allegation, we ask to provide it to us so we can take the appropriate action.”
