A former MillerCoors vice president and seven co-defendants were charged this week in a twenty count indictment as a result of an alleged plan to defraud the company of at least $7 million, the US Attorney’s Office of the Northern District of Illinois announced.
The defendants were charged with counts of wire and mail fraud for their alleged scheme that sought to drain funds from the company by submitting false estimates and invoices that billed for fictitious promotional and marketing events, the attorney’s office said.
