In July 2004, the US government filed civil and criminal charges against four former executives of Netherlands based Abhold’s subsidiary of US Food Service Inc., an operator of supermarkets such as Bi-Lo and Giant Food Stores. Two of the four executives have pleaded guilty, and the other two were indicted.
