Antitrust probe of Monsanto heats up
January 15, 2010
The Justice Department has intensified its antitrust investigation into Monsanto Co., demanding internal documents that outline marketing tactics of the world’s biggest seed company. The demand, disclosed Thursday by Monsanto, formalizes a months-long investigation into possible antitrust violations at the company, which has gained unprecedented power in the multibillion market for biotech seeds. It has already provided millions of pages of documents to the department and is cooperating with the agency’s civil probe, spokesman Lee Quarles said Thursday.
