A retrial in a major case of 10 poultry executives accused of colluding over prices is set for February, after the Department of Justice spent seven weeks arguing the same case in court in late 2021.
Top executives rarely go to court over criminal charges, but the Department of Justice refuses to back down after a December mistrial. t’s not often that the U.S. Justice Department slaps criminal charges on a group of top corporate executives and takes them all the way to court – twice. But after a jury failed to determine guilt or innocence in December, the second trial of 10 poultry industry leaders for alleged price-fixing is scheduled to begin Tuesday in Denver.
The defendants deny guilt. In the seven-week trial that ended in December, lawyers for the 10 co-defendants were able to convince jury members that a key government witness was unreliable and the proceedings ended in a mistrial. The case is one result of a sweeping Justice Department probe into alleged antitrust violations in the meatpacking industry that’s looking at activity dating back to the early 2000s.
Without admitting guilt, Pilgrim’s Pride has also agreed to pay $75 million to settle similar charges with different class-action groups like McDonald’s, Walmart and other fast-food chains, distributors and retailers.
