Coca-Cola under probe

[dArKeR]

Coca-Cola, the world's largest soft drinks maker, said on Friday the US Justice Department had launched an inquiry into the company's accounting and marketing practices.

The drinks multinational said the government probe is related to a private civil suit filed recently against Coca-Cola by a former employee, Matthew Whitely.

Whitley's lawsuit claims Coca-Cola engaged in deceptive accounting and marketing practices and knowingly sold contaminated drinks.

"The Coca-Cola Company has been informed that the United States Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Georgia has initiated an investigation arising from the allegations raised in civil litigation recently filed in Atlanta by Matthew Whitley, a former employee," the company said in a statement.

1. Coca-Cola's advertising budget must be over $2 billion and it

has about 70% of the world cola market. The media won't say anything bad about them.
