Gibson indictments expected

Posted 31 Dec 2010 in Industry Insights

Newly-filed court documents show that criminal indictments are expected against Gibson Guitar after a federal raid in November 2009. The details are from an affidavit filed by one of the Fish and Wildlife service agents investigating the case.

Wood from the island nation of Madagascar was seized at the Gibson Guitar factory during the raid and there have been accusations that the company has been illegally harvesting a type of wood from Madagascar, sending it to Germany and then importing it to the United States.

    I’m curious how this accusation is panning out.

    Have any indictments been filed?

    It’s been several months and I’m wondering if they were falsely accused.
