Two Senators are calling on the U.S. Treasury to investigate JBS as it seeks to purchase the rest of Pilgrim’s Pride.
They claim that the Brazilian company has a habit of criminal practices, like paying $150 million dollars in bribes to a Brazilian bank.
The letter calls for a Treasury review of JBS acquisitions, and the national security implications.
Last year, the Justice Department ordered JBS to pay a $280 million dollar fine for bribery.
