India launches probe against Wal-Mart - law enforcement source Nov 16th 2012, 05:47 NEW DELHI | Fri Nov 16, 2012 12:47am EST NEW DELHI Nov 16 (Reuters) - India is investigating Wal-Mart Stores Inc. over allegations it violated the country's foreign exchange rules, a senior law enforcement official with knowledge of the matter, told Reuters on Friday. An Indian lawmaker has accused Wal-Mart of "clandestinely and illegally" investing $100 million in the multi-brand retail business of its wholesale joint venture partner, Bharti Enterprises, as early as 2010, before India allowed foreign companies to operate front-end stores. "Yes, the Enforcement Directorate has initiated an investigation into the allegations against Wal-Mart," said the official, who declined to be named. Wal-Mart has denied the allegations since they first surfaced last month and said it is in compliance with Indian laws.
