Pepsi denies misrepresenting Irish exports

A FORMER US-based employee of cola maker Pepsi claims the company used its Irish operation to avoid import duties of $100 million (€76m).

In a lawsuit filed in New York last November, but only released in December, claims that Pepsi broke US duty laws by not paying duty on imports of concentrates from its plant in Cork.

Scott Winslow worked for Pepsi as a distribution analyst in the Concentrate Operations Office located in New York. He left the company following a poor service review.
