India police charge Amazon executives over online marijuana sales

Indian police have charged directors from Amazon’s original arm over claims the US retail mammoth’s online gate was used to smuggle and vend marijuana.

Two men were arrested last week with 21 kilograms (46 pounds) of the medicine in central Madhya Pradesh state and told officers they were using Amazon’s India platform to transport their goods away in the country.

They admitted to dispatching their crop by falsely selling it as stevia leaves, a natural sweetener, according to a police report seen by AFP on Sunday.

Directors from Amazon’s India unit had been included in the charges because of contradictions between substantiation collected in the police disquisition and responses entered by the establishment, the report said.

Neither police nor Amazon gave any suggestion of how numerous workers were facing charges.

Amazon said it was probing the case and pledged full cooperation with police in a Sunday statement to AFP.

“ We don’t allow the table and trade of products which are banned under the law to be vented in India,” a company prophet said.

India is a crucial request for Amazon with original investments worth$6.5 billion in the country since its 2013 debut.

The medicines case is the rearmost legal headache for the online business’s Indian arm, which is also facing an anti-trust inquiry along with Walmart attachment Flipkart.

Both enterprises are being delved by competition trolls over claims they gave preferential treatment to some merchandisers.

Amazon also launched an internal inquiry after reports in September that one or further of its Indian workers had bought government officers.
