Argentine tax inspectors raided the premises of some of the country’s largest multinational grains exporters on Thursday as part an investigation into alleged evasion, the AFIP tax agency said.
The local offices of agribusiness giants Bunge Ltd and Cargill were among those raided, a source close to the probe said on condition of anonymity.
The AFIP accused the companies raided under a federal court order of evading about $72 million in taxes by striking deals on the black market.
