Bribery case involving tobacco-leaf procurement
Three United States tobacco-leaf merchants pleaded guilty in connection with payments made to Thai officials to secure and coordinate tobacco sales contracts with TTM between 2000 and 2004. The case involved alleged kickbacks from affiliates of Dimon, Standard Commercial and Universal and implicated the integrity of international tobacco procurement linked to the Thai monopoly.
