BEIJING, July 28 (Reuters) - Chinese automotive glass
maker Fuyao Glass Industry Group said the United
States government agencies searched its subsidiary on July 26 in
Ohio as part of an ongoing investigation into a third-party
labour services company.
Fuyao Glass America Inc was not the target of the
investigation, Fuyao quoted the U.S. authority as saying, in a
filing to the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
Local media earlier quoted a U.S. Homeland Security
Investigations spokesperson as saying that their special agents
are serving search warrants at Fuyao Glass's unit and 27 other
locations as part of an investigation into "allegations of
financial crimes and labour exploitation."
Production in its Ohio unit was partially halted during the
search, which was completed on Friday afternoon. Cargo transport
and delivery were not affected, the company said, adding the
current operation remains normal.
